Proof of disposal Confirmation
If you utilise, dispose of, collect or transport hazardous waste, this is subject to a verification procedure under waste legislation.
Waste producers as well as holders, transporters, collectors and disposers of hazardous waste are obliged to do so. Private households and small-scale producers who do not generate more than two tonnes of hazardous waste per year are exempt.
If the disposer is not approved for the privileged procedure and no collection certificate from a carrier can be used because more than 20 tonnes of waste are generated at the point of generation in the year, an officially confirmed waste disposal certificate is required.

In Baden-Württemberg, hazardous waste for disposal must be disposed of. This regulation ensures that the capacities of the Billigheim hazardous waste landfill are utilised by waste producers and owners from Baden-Württemberg. This landfill is provided by the state for the disposal of hazardous waste.
However, they are not subject to the obligation to deliver:
- Small producers with no more than 2,000 kg of hazardous waste in total per year
- Producers who hand over their waste to the collector as part of a collective disposal programme.
In both cases, the disposer or collector must be subject to the obligation to deliver. - Waste producers who dispose of waste in their own facilities in Baden-Württemberg that were already in operation on 1 January 1996.
