Companies whose main purpose is to collect or transport hazardous waste, trade hazardous waste or broker the management of hazardous waste for third parties require a prior permit from the competent authority.

Companies wishing to carry out these waste management activities for their main purpose exclusively with non-hazardous waste must notify the competent authority in advance. The notification obligation also applies, inter alia, to waste disposal companies that are exempt from the permit requirement and to companies with another main purpose but which occasionally collect, transport, trade or broker the waste they generate themselves in the course of their own commercial activity (so-called economic enterprises, such as craft enterprises). Further exceptions are stipulated in the Notification and Permission Ordinance (AbfAEV).
