Register as a non-hazardous waste processor

Summary In detail Forms Links Contact
Summary

Are you a construction company or a farmer? Register as a waste recovery company. The benefit? Registration allows you to avoid applying for an environmental permit. Registration is in fact equivalent to an environmental permit.

In Wallonia, this registration for the recovery of non-hazardous waste is issued under certain conditions. The SPW Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment (SPW ARNE), and more specifically the Soil and Waste Department (DSD) will register you.

Our goal? To preserve human health and the environment.

RECYCLE YOUR CONSTRUCTION WASTE

During the waste recovery process, your waste materials are substituted for other materials or are prepared to serve a useful purpose. For example, you can use it as foundation or sub-base materials.

Need ideas? See "Learn More" below for a list of the companies registered to recover certain wastes.

NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE

  • household waste and similar
  • class B1 hospital waste: non-infectious waste from care units, consultations, medical-technical services and waste from medical laboratories
  • inert waste (e.g. earth, mortar, brick, cement, concrete, tiles, flat glass)
  • non-hazardous industrial and agricultural waste

Consult the complete list of wastes concerned in Annex I of the Walloon Government Decree of 14 June 2001 promoting the recovery of certain wastes.

FREE AND VALID FOR TEN YEARS

Registration is mandatory for recovering non-hazardous waste. The requirement applies only to activities carried out in a professional capacity.

This process is free of charge. Registration is granted for ten years. It is renewable. It cannot be transferred to a third party.

Throughout your registration, you must comply with a series of obligations (see the "Conditions" section below).

TRANSPORT: ANOTHER REGISTRATION

Do you transport non-hazardous waste yourself? Remember that you must also be registered as a waste transporter in addition to your registration as a recovery company. If you use a subcontractor for transportation, the subcontractor must also be registered.

RECYCLED AGGREGATES

For recycled aggregates, you must request the registration of the exit from waste status. Consult the related procedure.

REGISTER

To register, please complete the online form. See the complete procedure below.

Benefits

The main advantage of this registration is that it avoids the environmental permit application procedure. Registration as a recycler of non-hazardous waste counts as an environmental permit only for recycling activities. It does not exempt from permit obligations regarding storage or pretreatment operations.
