In Ukraine, a license for waste management activities is mandatory for companies and individual entrepreneurs (IEs) engaged in collection, transportation, disposal, and recycling of waste.

The permit is required for all types of waste, including industrial, household, and construction.

The license ensures the legality of activities and compliance with environmental standards.

Procedure for obtaining a license for waste management activities

To obtain a license, a business entity must complete the following steps:

Register a company or IE with the relevant activity code (KVED) in the field of waste management
Prepare documents confirming the availability of equipment for collection, transportation, and disposal of waste
Ensure staff training in safety and environmental requirements
Submit an application and a package of documents to the licensing authority
Receive a decision on the license issuance and pay the state fee

Legal requirements and obligations of the license holder

After obtaining the license, the company or IE must:

Comply with environmental regulations and rules for storage, transportation, and disposal of waste
Use transport and equipment according to legal requirements
Conclude agreements with landfills and organizations authorized to dispose of or recycle waste
Report to state authorities on the volumes of collected, transported, and disposed waste
Follow the license conditions, as violations may lead to its revocation

Liability for operating without a license

Engaging in waste management activities without a license entails administrative and financial liability. Penalties may be imposed on the company or IE, and conducting such activities is prohibited until a license is obtained.

Conclusion

Obtaining a license for waste management activities is a key step to operate legally and comply with the law. Qualified lawyers can help prepare the document package, support the application review process, and ensure compliance with all license conditions. This helps avoid fines and increase client trust.
