Temporary waste storage is a crucial phase in the management of corporate waste, regulated by Legislative Decree 152/2006 . This process allows companies to group together waste produced at the place of generation, awaiting its transport to authorized recovery or disposal plants.
Conditions for a Conforming Temporary Storage
To ensure compliance with current regulations, it is essential to respect specific conditions:
- Waste classification : Waste must be identified and separated into homogeneous categories, clearly distinguishing between hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
- Time and quantity limits :
- Collection frequency : Waste must be sent for recovery or disposal operations at least every three months, regardless of the quantities accumulated.
- Maximum quantities : The deposit must not exceed 30 cubic meters in total, of which a maximum of 10 cubic meters of hazardous waste. In any case, the duration of the deposit cannot exceed one year, even if the quantities are lower than the indicated limits.
- Technical standards : It is essential to comply with the regulations relating to packaging, labelling and storage, especially for waste containing hazardous substances, ensuring adequate safety conditions.
Penalties for Failure to Comply with the Rules
Failure to comply with the provisions on temporary storage may result in administrative and criminal sanctions, which vary depending on the severity of the infringement and the type of waste involved. It is therefore essential to adopt adequate organizational and structural measures to ensure compliant and safe waste management.
