Apply for exemption from the obligation to maintain records and registers for waste management operators

Service Description

If your company generates, collects, transports or disposes of hazardous waste, you are obliged to keep records. Companies that generate hazardous waste and the companies involved in its disposal use the verification documents and registers to prove proper disposal both to each other and to the competent authorities.

Companies that broker or trade in hazardous waste are also subject to the register obligation.

If the waste disposal is not likely to be detrimental to the public interest, the competent authority may grant you a partial or full exemption from the obligation to keep records and registers.

Process flow

  • You submit the application for exemption to the competent authority together with all the information required to assess the facts of the case.
  • The authority will process your application and decide whether an exemption can be considered.
  • You will be notified of the authority's decision.

Who should I contact?

Please contact the Thuringian State Office for the Environment, Mining and Nature Conservation - Department 74 | Waste law monitoring.

Requirements

Whether an exemption from verification and registration obligations can be granted is a discretionary decision by the competent authority.

In principle, an exemption is only possible if there is no risk of harm to the public good despite the exemption. In this context, the authority must take into account that there is a particularly pronounced public interest in standardized and therefore exemption-free verification and register management.

  • Reasons why an exemption should be granted in the specific individual case
  • Information on the scope of the exemption

What are the fees?
