Waste management license

The issue of waste management is becoming increasingly relevant for most businesses today, from small production or storage sites to large factories and logistics complexes. Ukrainian legislation requires mandatory licensing for anyone involved in the collection, transportation, storage, processing, recycling or disposal of waste. Without such a licence, activities in this area are illegal and may result in significant fines and, in some cases, even the closure of the enterprise.
That is why a waste management licence is a guarantee of stable, safe and legal operation of a company, allowing it to avoid problems with regulatory authorities and demonstrate its responsibility to the environment and society to its partners.

 

Legal stages of obtaining a waste management licence

Here are the main steps you need to take to obtain this important permit:

  • Preliminary audit of activities and compliance assessment. It all starts with a legal and technical analysis: the types of waste handled by the company, the volumes and methods of collection, transportation and processing are determined in order to obtain a waste management licence. The lawyer also checks the availability of the necessary material and technical resources: specialised premises, containers, transport, equipment for waste processing or disposal. Contracts with contractors and the status of internal documentation are analysed. 
     
  • Preparation of a package of documents for the licence. The package includes: founding documents, documents on the right to use (ownership or lease) premises, certificates and technical passports for equipment, sanitary and epidemiological conclusions, production control programmes, job descriptions of employees, waste disposal contracts (if contractors are involved), accounting journals and other documents. The specialist compiles a list according to the types of waste and specific activities to avoid mistakes and refusals. 
     
  • Submission of an application to the licensing authority. Next, the application itself is prepared and all documents confirming the enterprise's readiness to carry out activities in the field of waste management are attached. The application is submitted to the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine. The specialist ensures that the package is complete and error-free, which significantly reduces the processing time. 
     
  • Support during inspections and elimination of comments. During the application review stage, the licensing authority often organises on-site inspections to confirm the actual condition of the enterprise. The lawyer participates in such inspections, responds to official requests, helps to quickly respond to possible comments, and prepares additional explanations or corrections. 
     
  • Obtaining a licence and support in fulfilling licence conditions. After a positive decision, the enterprise can obtain a waste management licence and be entered into the relevant register. But the work does not end there: it is necessary to comply with the licence conditions, keep records of waste, prepare reports and be ready for scheduled inspections. The specialist continues to provide advice to ensure that the activity remains safe and legal. 

Careful completion of all these stages, together with professional legal support, allows you to avoid unnecessary time and stress, and most importantly, allows you to obtain a waste management licence without refusals or fines. 

 

Terms of service for obtaining a waste management licence

To obtain a licence quickly and smoothly, it is important not only to hire a specialist, but also to organise the interaction process correctly as follows:

  1. Openness and provision of complete information. The lawyer must have full access to data on the company's activities: internal documents, contracts, technical passports, waste movement schemes. This allows you to identify all ‘weak spots’ in advance and eliminate them before submitting the application.
  2. Readiness to improve and implement recommendations. Often, in order to successfully obtain a licence, it is necessary to update some documents, develop additional internal regulations, organise staff training or even purchase additional equipment. It is important that the company is ready to take these steps. 
     
  3.  Fast communication and legal authority for representation. To support the process, it is necessary to sign a power of attorney allowing a specialist to represent the company's interests in government agencies. Prompt interaction is also required in responding to requests from regulatory authorities and providing additional documents. 
     
  4. Formalisation of relations in a written agreement. The document clearly specifies the scope of legal services, terms, price and confidentiality conditions. This creates a clear and predictable framework for cooperation.

Compliance with these conditions significantly speeds up the process of obtaining a waste management licence and makes cooperation more efficient, transparent and effective.

Frequently asked questions about obtaining a waste management licence

Question

What types of waste activities require a licence (collection, transportation, disposal, storage)?

Answer

All types of waste management activities require a licence. The list of activities is specified in the licence, so each type must be agreed separately and confirmed by the material and technical base.

Question

Is a separate licence required for the transportation of waste if there is already a licence for its disposal?

Answer

Yes, it is required. A disposal licence does not automatically grant the right to transport waste — for this, it is necessary to separately indicate the type of activity ‘transportation of waste’ in the licence and confirm the availability of appropriate transport and documents.

Question

Do you need to have your own equipment or is rented equipment sufficient to obtain a licence?

Answer

To obtain a licence, it is sufficient to have both your own and rented equipment — the main thing is that this is confirmed by rental agreements or ownership rights, and that the equipment meets all legal requirements.

 

What determines the cost of obtaining a waste management licence?

The price depends on several criteria: the types and volumes of waste processed by the company, the state of readiness of the material and technical base, the volume of documents required for development or renewal, the deadlines for completion, and the need for support during inspections. The cost is always specified after a preliminary analysis and is fixed in the contract, which guarantees transparency of cooperation. 

 

Conclusion

Obtaining a waste management licence is a guarantee of the legality and stability of the company's activities. Consulting a lawyer allows you to avoid common mistakes, fines and work stoppages, as well as confidently go through all the stages from preparing documents to accompanying inspections. This is a necessity for a business that cares about its reputation and safety.

Дмитро Книш

Послуга на рівні! Усе почалося з консультації, де одразу пояснили, які документи маємо мати, які вимоги і строки. Не довелося нічого “винаходити” — юрист зробив все “під ключ”, ще й виявився дуже приємним і компетентним спеціалістом.

Роман Дяченко

Гарна робота, видно, що спеціаліст дійсно розуміється на екологічному законодавстві. Вдалося швидко підготувати документи для нашого регіону. Було кілька уточнень із нашого боку, які довелося чекати, тому ставлю 4, але загалом — сервіс якісний.

Дуже вдячна за увагу до деталей. Я зверталась за ліцензією вперше і боялася, що щось піде не так. Але все пройшло швидко й професійно. Юрист пояснив кожен пункт, навіть щодо внутрішньої документації, яку потрібно впровадити. Дуже задоволена!

ЮВ
Юлія В,

Вперше зверталися по допомогу з отриманням ліцензії на поводження з небезпечними відходами. Нас супроводжували на кожному етапі — навіть у комунікаціях із контролюючими органами. Все зрозуміло, структуровано і без прихованих платежів.

АП
Андрій Павлюк

Загалом задоволений. Консультація змістовна, документи підготували професійно. Єдине, трохи затягнулось через додаткові вимоги від держорганів, але це, як я зрозумів, не вина юриста. Дякую за підтримку.

МГ
Марина Г.

Ми довго не могли розібратися, яку саме ліцензію потрібно оформити для нашого підприємства, яке займається сортуванням промислових відходів. Фахівець надав чітку консультацію і взяв на себе оформлення всіх документів. Все пройшло без зайвих нервів. Рекомендую!
