Waste management is a very important issue from an economic and public health standpoint, in particular due to the expansion of volumes produced (around + 1% per year) and the greater awareness of the population to issues related to the environment. The result is a growing market, both in terms of collection, transport, recovery and treatment and storage of waste. While the management of domestic waste depends on local authorities, the management of industrial waste is the responsibility of the companies that produce it.

Each type of waste (industrial / domestic, solid / liquid / gaseous, toxic / non-toxic, etc.) has its specific waste management channel.

While the management of domestic waste depends on local authorities, the management of industrial waste is the responsibility of the companies that produce it. From the junk removal fairfax you can expect the best deals now.

The waste nomenclature results distinguish non-hazardous waste from hazardous waste which requires special attention. In addition, certain categories of waste are subject to specific regulations (such as used oils, waste electrical and electronic equipment, packaging waste, etc. See regulatory reminder at the end of the file).

Reminder of the main types of waste:

• The household and similar waste, that is to say non-hazardous industrial waste or “mundane” (DND or DIB)
• The hazardous industrial waste or “special” (DD or DIS) can not be deposited in storage facilities receiving other types of waste.
• The toxic waste in dispersed quantities (DTW) is dangerous waste produced in small quantities by households, traders and SMEs. They must be treated in facilities classified for environmental protection (ICPE).
• The inert waste is inorganic solids that come from the construction sites.
• The ultimate waste resulting from the treatment of a waste is eliminated by storage.

Responsibility

Waste management imposes obligations on its producer / holder, the non-observance of which can lead to serious civil and criminal penalties.

Each company, whatever its sector of activity, is therefore responsible for the elimination of its waste and is required to ensure or have it disposed of in accordance with the applicable environmental regulations.

Its responsibility is therefore engaged in the event of pollution or even a risk of pollution.

Thus, the waste producer must verify that:

Removal: the collector he uses has declared his activity in the prefecture. To find service providers to collect your waste, you can ask the ADEME regional delegation, your consular chamber (CCI or Chamber of Trades and Crafts) or your trade union

Treatment: treatment takes place in facilities classified for the environment

Traceability: The rules for traceability of its waste are respected.

The traceability rules are an essential part of complying with regulatory constraints and controlling risk. The traceability rules are materialized through 2 main elements:

• The waste tracking slip, which must be systematically drawn up,
• The waste tracking register must be methodically kept up to date

The Waste Monitoring Report is a form intended to ensure the traceability of hazardous waste and to provide proof of their elimination for the responsible producer. It includes information on the origin of the waste, its characteristics, the methods of collection, transport and storage, the identity of the companies concerned and the destination of the waste. The Waste Tracking Note accompanies the waste to the destination facility which can be a final disposal center, a grouping center or a pre-treatment center.
