The company may include the information on all reception points to which it delivers waste for intermediate storage.

The operator carrying out waste collection on a professional basis must keep a record of the collected waste. The details of the type and quality of the collected waste, the hazardous properties of hazardous waste, the quality, origin and place of delivery of the waste and its transport and treatment must be recorded in accounting. This information must be stored for six years.

The notification must include details on who commissions the waste collection and who is responsible for the collected waste.
