Statute overview

About this statute

Certain waste importers, intracommunity acquirers, agents, and intermediaries must notify their activity and register specified waste details with the competent regional environmental authority. Waste holders must either manage the waste themselves or hand it to a waste manager, keep it in safe hygienic condition, sort construction/demolition waste by material, and pay their management costs. Regulates waste management general rules: operations must not endanger health or the environment, dumping and uncontrolled disposal are prohibited, and regional authorities may declare certain waste-management operations to be public service. Waste recovery and disposal facilities and operators generally need administrative authorisation, with some municipal waste activities treated differently. Las Comunidades Autónomas pueden exempt companies and establishments from the administrative authorization requirement for handling their own non-hazardous waste in production centers, if they set general rules on types, quantities, and conditions. If the exemption applies, the activity must be registered.
