Register as a transporter, collector, broker or dealer of non-hazardous waste

Summary

In Wallonia, only a person registered with the administration can transport and collect non-hazardous waste. This registration is issued by the SPW Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment (SPW ARNE), and more specifically the Soil and Waste Department (DSD).

Our goal? To preserve human health and the environment.

Registration of professionals
