Collective waste disposal certificate Confirmation

In Baden-Württemberg, hazardous waste for disposal must be disposed of. This regulation ensures that the capacities of the Billigheim hazardous waste landfill are utilised by waste producers and owners from Baden-Württemberg. This landfill is provided by the state for the disposal of hazardous waste.
However, they are not subject to the obligation to deliver:
- Small producers with no more than 2,000 kilograms of hazardous waste in total per year
- Producers who hand over their waste to the collector as part of a collective disposal programme.
In both cases, the disposer or collector must be subject to the obligation to deliver. - Waste producers who dispose of waste in their own facilities in Baden-Württemberg that were already in operation on 1 January 1996.
