  1. Waste Classification and Waste Management System STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOP 30th JULY 2010

  2. Objectives • DEA Objectives – • To report on the success of national waste policy in moving waste up the hierarchy from landfilling to reuse, recycling and recovery • Identify the impact of policies and waste management interventions • Identify waste streams requiring further management intervention • To achieve this objective, DEA needs to know – • What waste are currently generated in SA? • How much waste are we generating? • How is the waste currently being managed ? • Can answer questions by generating the following reports: • Tonnages of waste finally treated, recycled, recovered or landfilled • Achieved by waste management facilities reporting under specific waste management category • Reporting on specific waste types managed

  3. Waste Categorisation • Identifies waste management facilities that must report • Identifies codes under which the facilities must report • Provides a list of waste types which must be reported on • Identifies waste generators that are required to register • Requirements are implemented through the WIS regulations

  4. WHO REGISTERS

  5. Registration • All waste management facilities are required to register under specific codes and sub-codes • Codes: • R: for recycling and recovery of waste • T: for treatment of waste not for disposal i.e. final treatment • D: for disposal of waste • Sub – codes • R1 - R6 • T1 - T4 • D1 - D5 • All generators of hazardous waste generating in excess of 20kg of hazardous waste/day are required to register and receive a registration number • All major generators of HCRW (i.e. > 20kg/day) are required to register and receive a registration number

  6. Waste Management facilities required to register & registration codes

  7. WHO REPORTS ON WHAT

  8. Reporting • All WM facilities identified in the wm codes must report • not all facilities requiring a waste licence will report i.e. waste separators, bulking & transfer facilities – the final handler or user will report i.e. the recycler or recoverer • Reporting is required on three levels • level one – waste classification • Level two – major waste type • Level three – specific waste type • The WM facility must report per waste generator if the generator has a WIS registration number (i.e. if the generator generates in excess of 20kg of hazardous waste per day) • Information will be available from the manifest system which is required in terms of the WC & M regulations
