According to Article 51 A (g) of
Legislative a refusal is "any substance or object which the holder
disposes of or has decided on or has an obligation to discard". Once
clarified what is meant by refusal, a distinction must be made between:
1.
Urban waste
2.
Special waste
Is
between:
1.
Hazardous waste
2.
Non-hazardous waste
Each waste is also associated with a
specific CER code (acronym for the Asian Waste Code), six digits which have the
function of identifying the type of waste being treated. For each of these
there is a different disposal system and, as you can imagine, the disposal of
special waste, especially if hazardous, requires the adoption of specific
measures, in order to minimize the risk to the environment and to the human
health.
Do you know how to take effective and timely
action in the event of spills?
Companies that do not comply with the
regulations for the regulation of waste management not only represent a
potential danger for the ecosystem and for people but also risk suffering
severe administrative and criminal penalties.
What the waste management law provides?
The management of special waste is regulated in the
fourth part of the aforementioned Legislative Decree, which specifies the
various operations to be implemented both to prevent the production of waste
and to recover it and, finally, to correctly perform the disposal processes at
every stage.
In particular, the management of special waste, being
particularly delicate, requires the involvement of companies specialized in disposal.
As for the timing of waste disposal, the manufacturer has
two options:
1) Start waste for recovery or disposal every three
months, regardless of the quantity produced;
2) Start waste for recovery or disposal within a year at
the latest from their production, provided that
the quantity is less than 20 cubic meters of
non-hazardous waste and 10 cubic meters of hazardous waste.
Both of these options are also designed with a view to
saving on the cost of waste disposal, including special ones: in fact, if the
company produces a large quantity, it is more convenient to dispose of them
every three months, also because in this way it can be created an ongoing
relationship with the supplier appointed to perform this task and, perhaps,
agree on a lump sum payment. On the contrary, companies that produce little
waste can only dispose of it once a year, since doing so on a regular basis, if
the amount of waste is small, would have a higher cost.
Save on the disposal of hazardous waste thanks to sanitary towels
Special waste also includes chemicals, many of which are
in liquid form. To save money on the disposal of these wastes, resorting to
specific absorbent products is undoubtedly a winning choice. The polypropylene
fiber absorbers , in their different versions (cloths, rolls, sausages and
pillows) not only absorb a large quantity of liquid or oil in a short time but
are also perfectly resistant and do not drip during removal operations. Being
very light but absorbing large quantities of liquid, they will represent only a
small part of the final waste, significantly lowering the total disposal costs
(absorbed liquid plus absorber used).
Saving money on waste transportation
A very important phase of waste disposal is that of
transport to the place of disposal, which for many companies represents an
important cost item. In some cases, however, it is possible to transport waste
without resorting to an external company, thus saving on this expense. This
operation, which is defined by law as "own account transport" is
governed. Which illustrates how to register on the register for the transport
of own waste. Self-produced. Therefore, the initial producers of non-hazardous
and Hazardous Waste Management Authorization that
collect and transport them can be registered in the Register (in the case of
hazardous waste, the limit is 30 kg or 30 liters per day).
Carefully studying the current legislation on waste
disposal is therefore very important in order to reduce the cost of disposing
of special waste, because it allows you to opt for the most suitable solutions
for your needs, decreasing expenses without affecting the quality of the
process.
