Waste transportation for companies registered in Sweden

Do you transport waste professionally, or do you transport waste from your own business? If so, you either need a permit to transport waste or you must file a notification with the County Administrative Board. You should also file a notification if you professionally collect waste or if you are a trader or broker of waste.

When to apply for a permit

If you transport waste professionally, which means that you transport waste for another party, you should always apply for a permit to transport waste, regardless of the amount. This applies for both commercial transport companies and service companies.

If you transport waste from your own business, you need to apply for a permit if the amount of waste to be transported exceeds

  • 100 kilos or 100 litres of hazardous waste per year
  • 10 tonnes or 50 cubic metres of non-hazardous waste per year.

Hazardous waste permits are normally valid for five years. Permits for non-hazardous waste may be valid until further notice, but can also be issued for a fixed period of time.

When you need to submit a notification

If you transport hazardous waste that has been generated through your own professional activities, you need to submit a notification to the County Administrative Board

  • if the amount is less than 100 kilos or 100 litres per year
  • if you will be transporting waste that is exempt from the permit requirement (a list of these types of waste is provided below).

The notification is valid for five years.

You also need to report whether you professionally collect waste or if you are a trader or broker of waste.
