Procedure details
Description
The disposal of hazardous waste is subject to verification requirements. If commercial businesses, contractors or building owners have to dispose of more than 2 tons of hazardous waste per year, they require a waste producer number.
The waste producer number is a nine-digit identification number that a waste producer or waste owner needs in order to be able to participate in the electronic waste records procedure (eANV) when disposing of their hazardous waste. It identifies the location where the waste is generated or accumulates. Among other things, it is necessary in order to be able to prove that hazardous waste has been disposed of properly and in an environmentally friendly manner.
A separate waste producer number is also required for entry in the so-called takeover certificate if the waste in question is collected and disposed of by a collector by means of a collective disposal certificate (maximum 20 tons per calendar year, place of generation and waste code).
If you have several company locations where hazardous waste is generated, you must apply for a separate waste producer number for each location.
In the event of a relocation, the previous generator number becomes invalid. Please apply for a new waste producer number for the new location. In the event of a change of name, the previous producer number remains valid if it is purely a change of name or form without a change in legal identity.
The regulation does not apply to private households.
