Permit to collect used oil, hazardous small household waste, and ship's waste
Do you collect used oil, hazardous small household waste, or ship's waste in the Netherlands? Then you will need a waste collection permit from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat, IenW).
Applying for a waste collection permit
You can request a waste collection permit (Bia permit, in Dutch) from the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (Inspectie Leefomgeving en Transport, ILT). After receiving the permit you will be added to the list of permit holders (in Dutch), which is publicly available. To qualify for this permit, your business must meet certain requirements with regard to accounting and internal control procedures. These requirements are included in the National Waste Management Plan (LAP3). To find out what requirements your business must meet and for more information, contact the Waste Management Information desk (in Dutch).
You also need to submit a certificate of conduct (VOG NP) for the person in charge of the waste collecting. You can use ILTs form for your application. On the form choose category Afval and put 'Aanvraagformulier VOG Bia' in the subject line. The ILT will then send you a (partially) pre-filled VOG NP application form within a few days. Use this VOG NP application form to apply for a certificate of conduct from the municipality.

Are you looking for an authorised collector of waste oil, small hazardous waste, or shipping waste? Then check the list of collectors (in Dutch) on ILT's website. Everyone who has a waste collection permit is on the list of licence holders. This list of licence holders is public.
