HAZARDOUS WASTE
A category of waste which, because of its constituents or properties, presents a hazard primarily to the environment or to human health. Therefore, these wastes must be transported, stored and treated under different, stricter rules.
We are authorised for almost all categories of hazardous waste. We ensure the proper treatment and disposal of the hazardous waste we collect and receive, in accordance with the regulations and with the responsibility expected, so that the waste is sent to the most appropriate treatment partner for its characteristics. We transport this waste in our own vehicles, for which we have many ADR certified containers of different types and sizes.
WHEN SHOULD THE WASTE GENERATED BE CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS WASTE?
The Waste Act and its associated legislation are relatively precise about when a waste should be considered hazardous. The classification of waste is determined primarily by its physico-chemical-biological properties, which may include:
- Explosive
- Oxidizing
- Radioactive
- Flammable
- Irritant
- Toxic
- Corrosive
- Carcinogenic, Mutagenic
- Infectious
- Ecotoxic
CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
The hazardousness of the waste is indicated in the environmental description (marked with an asterisk) containing the EWC codes, which is provided for in the Decree 72/2013 (VIII. 27.) VM. Exceptions are made for hazardous waste generated in households. In practice, the distinction covers selective household waste collection.
The classification into EWC codes depends primarily on the technological process during which the waste was generated. Waste generated in households – or from similar circumstances – is covered by a separate main category in the legislation.
TRANSPORT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
The transport of hazardous waste is subject to an official permit. The transport vehicles must comply with the legal requirements. Drivers must also pass an official test before they can transport hazardous waste.
HANDLING HAZARDOUS WASTE
Hazardous waste may only be handed over to a company with an official permit!
With the exception of waste generated by the general public, hazardous waste must be accompanied by an accompanying document (SZ form), which contains information enabling the type, hazard, physic-chemical properties and details of the holder, transporter or operator of the hazardous waste to be identified.
There are different ways of treatment and disposal:
- Reuse
- Recycling
- Utilization
- Neutralization
- Treatment by incineration
- Landfilling
According to the Waste Act and European Union regulations, the above order of priority must be respected for all waste management, i.e. recycling options must be considered first and incineration or landfilling is only allowed if no other treatment method is possible. Very strict rules apply to the construction and operation of incineration plants and landfills in order to minimise the impact on the environment.
REGISTRATION AND REPORTING OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
Waste declarations must be made if waste management activities (subject to authorisation) are carried out or if waste is produced in excess of a certain quantity.
If waste production (generation) exceeds the following annual quantities (per site), a waste declaration is required (all waste categories must be declared if any category is reached):
- from 200 kg for hazardous waste
- from 2000 kg for non-hazardous waste, except for the following point
- from 5 000 kg for non-hazardous construction and demolition waste
The above list does not include waste collected by the public service provider, which does not need to be declared.
