FAQs – Frequently asked questions about the disposal of hazardous & non-hazardous waste
The disposal of hazardous waste is subject to strict environmental and safety guidelines. We ensure compliance with all legal requirements and take care of the necessary documentation in accordance with the German Waste Disposal Ordinance (AbfallnachweisVO).
The disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste differs in several aspects, particularly with regard to legal requirements, handling and disposal processes.
Hazardous waste is waste that contains harmful substances and therefore poses a potential risk to people and the environment. Examples include solvents, batteries, fluorescent lamps, pesticides, used medicines, used oils and electronic waste.
Non-hazardous waste, on the other hand, does not pose an immediate danger. This includes paper, glass, biowaste, packaging and construction waste. Classification is based on legal criteria such as hazardous characteristics and chemical composition.
Hazardous waste must be collected and stored separately from other waste in specially marked containers in order to avoid environmental and health risks.
Non-hazardous waste, on the other hand, can be disposed of in standardized collection containers such as household waste, recycling or organic waste garbage cans, as it does not pose an immediate danger.
Hazardous waste often needs to be treated with special processes to neutralize or safely dispose of the pollutants it contains.
Non-hazardous waste, on the other hand, can usually be recycled or composted directly without the need for complex treatments.
These different disposal practices are important to minimize the specific risks of hazardous waste and to comply with legal requirements.
Hazardous waste is subject to strict legal regulations. It may only be disposed of, traded or recycled under certain conditions. Waste that is not classified under the Waste Management Act may not be processed even by waste disposal companies.
Non-hazardous waste is subject to the general waste disposal regulations, which are significantly less restrictive and easier to implement.
Hazardous waste must be transported by specialized vehicles and trained personnel. Saubermacher, for example, collects this waste directly at the point of origin, transports it in special vehicles and analyzes it in its own laboratory before it is recycled or disposed of professionally.
Non-hazardous waste, on the other hand, is usually collected by municipal waste disposal services and recycled or disposed of in suitable facilities without the need for special safety precautions.
We dispose of chemicals, varnishes, paints, oily waste, batteries and other hazardous substances in accordance with legal regulations.
When transporting hazardous waste, numerous safety measures must be observed in order to protect people and the environment and to comply with legal requirements:
Legal basis and regulations
Transport is subject to regulations such as the ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road), the GGVSEB (Hazardous Goods Ordinance for Road, Rail and Inland Waterways) and the Waste Catalogue Ordinance (AVV).
Classification and labelling
Hazardous waste must be classified according to ADR classes (e.g. flammable, toxic, corrosive) and labelled accordingly. Packaging and transport vehicles must be marked with hazard labels and UN numbers. The type of packaging (collective or individual packaging) is also regulated.
Packaging and securing
Approved, certified and leak-proof containers must be used, such as drums or IBC containers. The load must be secured in accordance with VDI 2700 to prevent slipping or tipping.
Transport vehicles and equipment
Only suitable vehicles with ADR approval may be used. Fire extinguishers, personal protective equipment (PPE) and emergency kits must be available on board. In addition, the permissible transport quantity is limited and must be strictly adhered to.
These measures are essential to ensure the safe transport of hazardous waste.
Yes, hazardous waste requires special treatment and transportation, which results in higher costs.
The correct separation of waste is regulated by law in the Waste Management Act 2002 (AWG 2002, § 1 & § 3) as well as in various ordinances such as the Packaging Ordinance or the Waste Collection Ordinance. The aim is to avoid waste as far as possible, recycle it or dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way.
The following types of waste should be collected separately:
Residual waste: Everything that cannot be recycled.
Organic waste: Organic waste such as food waste, fruit peelings or garden waste.
Paper & cardboard: Newspapers, cardboard boxes, paper packaging (no soiled paper!).
Glass: Dispose of white and coloured glass separately.
Metal & plastic packaging: Beverage cans, plastic packaging, yogurt cups, etc.
Hazardous waste: Batteries, paints, waste oil, oil-containing operating materials, etc. – under no circumstances do these belong in the residual waste!
Separating waste correctly helps to conserve resources and protect the environment.
Yes, we create individual disposal concepts that are optimally tailored to the needs and waste streams of our customers.
