Waste management register – how to apply
How to submit an application to the waste management register
-
Submit the application to the authority in whose jurisdiction you operate
The application is submitted to the centre for economic development, transport and the environment in whose operating area most of the activities are carried out.
If waste in the possession of a waste broker is transported by one or more waste transport companies, the activities of each company must be separately approved in the waste management register.
-
Submit the application electronically
Submit the application in the regional administration’s e-service. Also read the instructions.

Decision and extract from the waste management register from the centre for economic development, transport and the environment
Once the register approval decision has been made, the centre for economic development, transport and the environment will provide the carrier/broker with the decision and an extract from the waste management register. The driver is obliged to keep an extract from the waste management register available during the transport of waste.
-
Extract validity period
The extract from the register is reviewed every three years. If the operations change, the operator must notify the centre for economic development, transport and the environment of the changes, for example in the e-services of the regional administration.
The waste holder must check the details of the carrier.
Before ordering a waste transport or brokering service, the waste holder must check that the waste carrier or broker has been approved and entered in the waste management register. They must also check that the approval also covers the transport of the waste in question.
The waste holder may request the carrier or broker to present an extract from the waste management register.
Operators approved for the waste management register can be found on the waste management compass page jatehuoltokompassi.fi.
