Procedure details

The district administrative authority (district office or district-free city) may impose conditions and requirements or limit the collection period.

Commercial collection must be prohibited if:

  • there are concerns about the reliability of the notifier or the person responsible for the collection, or
  • the collection conflicts with overriding public interests,
    i.e. it prevents the public waste management authority from fulfilling its disposal obligations under economically balanced conditions or significantly impairs its planning security and organizational responsibility. The latter is to be assumed if
    • waste is collected for which the public waste management authority carries out household or other high-quality separate collection and recycling of the waste,
    • the stability of fees is jeopardized or
    • the non-discriminatory and transparent awarding of waste disposal services in competition is made considerably more difficult or undermined.

Waste electrical and electronic equipment from private households may only be collected or taken back by public waste management authorities, distributors, manufacturers or their representatives, or by operators of primary treatment facilities certified in accordance with Section 21 of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act.

Supplement: Landratsamt Passau

The authority may impose conditions and requirements or impose a time limit on the collection.

The commercial collection shall be prohibited if:

  • there are concerns about the reliability of the person making the notification or the person responsible for the collection; or
  • the collection is contrary to overriding public interests,

    • waste is collected for which the public waste management authority carries out household or other high-quality separate collection and recovery of waste,
    • the stability of charges is jeopardised, or
    • the non-discriminatory and transparent award of waste management services in competition is considerably impeded or undermined.

As a matter of principle, WEEE may only be collected or taken back by the public waste management authorities, the producer or distributor and their authorised agents.

  • The collection must not conflict with any overriding public interests.
  • The waste must be recycled properly and without causing damage.
  • There are no known facts that give rise to concerns about the reliability of the collector.
