These bodies and companies generate special hazardous waste due to the following activities:

• waste disposal activities, i.e. any preliminary operations of deposit of waste before performing one of the activities as per points D1 to D14 (except for temporary deposit – before waste collection – in the facility where it is created);
• waste recovery, i.e. any operations of waste storage before implementing one of the operations as per points R1 to R12 (except for temporary deposit – before waste collection – in the facility where it is created).

 

PROFESSIONAL CARRIERS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE

These bodies or companies are professional carriers that collect or transport special hazardous waste, including foreign carriers working in the national territory.

 

HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGER

These bodies or companies perform the following activities: treatment, recovery, disposal, trade of urban waste or special hazardous waste or act as brokers in waste, including those actors who treat or generate hazardous waste.

 

NEW PRODUCERS OF WASTE

These actors treat hazardous waste and produce a new type of waste (even non hazardous waste) that differ from the treated waste - in terms of composition or type of waste - or they treat non hazardous waste and produce a new type of hazardous waste. These actors must register with the two categories: managers of waste and producers of waste and pay the contribution for each category according to what is envisaged by annex 2 of the ministerial decree no. 52/2011 and subsequent amendments and integrations.

 

INTERMODAL TRANSPORT OPERATORS

If intermodal transport is needed, intermodal transport operators take care of special hazardous waste before the railways or shipping company or the transport company take on their transport.

BODIES AND COMPANIES COLLECTING, RECOVERING, DISPOSING OF URBAN WASTE IN THE CAMPANIA REGION

These bodies and companies are municipalities, transport companies and waste recovery and disposal facilities; waste is produced in the Campania region and these facilities are located in the territory of the Campania region, as per paragraph 4, article 188-ter, of the legislative decree no. 152/2006 and subsequent amendments and integrations.

The role of the intermediary is not described by the legislative decree no. 152/06, even though it is mentioned by the decree. According to jurisprudence, the intermediary contributes to the establishment of good relationships between the actors involved in waste management (producer/owner, carrier, final receiver) and ensures that the producers dispose of the waste properly and correctly. The intermediary may also act as a consultant.

A peculiar characteristic of the intermediary is that they do not come into contact with waste, i.e. waste is not stored.

Those who wish to work as intermediaries must register with the National Registry of waste managers, as envisaged by article 212 of legislative decree no. 152/06.
