Commercial waste

  • Rules for household-like commercial waste

    Waste sorting requirements for businesses

    All businesses, regardless of size, must sort their household-like waste into ten different waste types.

    The purpose of the rules is to ensure that more waste is recycled.

    Handling the waste

    BOFA receives the waste at the recycling centres (except for food waste), but it is the company's own responsibility to arrange collection.

    Businesses can choose either:

    • Using a hauler to pick up the waste.
    • Transport the waste yourself to one of BOFA's recycling centres.

    If the company transports the waste itself, it requires registration for BOFA's business scheme. Registration takes place here.

    Notes:
    Vehicles may have a maximum total weight of 3,500kg.

    Do you have any questions?

    If you have any questions about the business scheme, it is recommended to contact a haulier.

    Further information:

    You can read more about sorting and get tips in the material from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency here.

    You can find more information about waste sorting at recycling centres in BOFA's sorting guide.

  • Earth controller

    In accordance with Executive Order no. 1479 of 12 December 2007 on notification and documentation in connection with the moving of soil, and Bornholm Regional Municipality's regulations for soil, soil must be moved according to the following guidelines:

    Moving soil
    As a general rule, notification must be made no later than 4 weeks before the soil is to be moved.
    The notification is made at www.jordweb.dk

    EarthWeb
    Bornholm Regional Municipality's Technical and Environmental Services recommends that earth movers sign up for JordWeb. JordWeb is an electronic system that makes it easy to manage the entire case process. You can sign up for the system at www.jordweb.dk.

    Registration and instructions on how to use the system can be found on the website under the "Quick-guide" menu and there is also a demonstration of the system.

    Any questions can be directed to Technology and Environment:
    Kenneth Falch Hennings, +45 56 92 20 85.

    Jordan analyses
    The notification must be accompanied by soil analyses. The following requirements apply:

    • Disposal as slightly contaminated soil: 1 analysis per 120 tonnes.
    • Use/disposal as clean soil: 1 analysis per 30 tonnes.

    Upon arrival at BOFA
    When delivering to BOFA, you must bring:

    • A copy of the notification form or a printout from JordWeb.
    • Soil analyses, if applicable.

    Earth to BOFA
    Below you will find an overview of the most common soil classes that are referred to BOFA. For a more detailed review of which soil classes require notification, please refer to Bornholms Regionskommunes Home page.

    Clean soil
    Defined as:

    • Soil excavated in areas where no actual contamination has occurred.
    • Soil that is not excavated in road areas.
    • Soil that is not excavated on a registered/mapped contaminated site.
    • Soil that does not originate from areas covered by Bornholm Regional Municipality's area classification.

    This type of soil can be transported directly to BOFA, either to Almegårdsvej 8 in Rønne or to one of BOFA's landfill areas, as has previously been the practice.

    Slightly contaminated soil
    Slightly contaminated soil is the starting point:

    • Soil excavated within road areas.
    • Soil excavated in the classified areas.
    • Soil originating from e.g. registered contaminated sites (mapped areas).

    Before transport to BOFA, the soil removal must be notified as described at the top of the page. The notification form and any soil samples must be brought with you upon delivery.

    Soil from mapped areas
    When moving soil from mapped areas and contaminated soil, in addition to slightly contaminated soil, one soil sample must be taken per 30 tonnes. In addition, an identification of any hot spots must be carried out.

    The same requirements for analyses apply if contaminated soil is found that exceeds the level for slightly contaminated soil, but where the area has not been mapped. However, the municipality can reduce the number of samples if the municipality has approved a soil management plan prior to the notification.

    Before transport to BOFA, the soil removal must be notified as described at the top of the page. The notification form and any soil samples must be brought with you upon delivery.

    Emergency excavations
    Emergency excavations are excavations and relocation of soil that, due to a sudden situation, cannot await prior notification and approval.

    This soil can be moved immediately to a temporary location:

    • In a container or similar
    • The mapping site at BOFA.

    When an excavation and relocation to a temporary location takes place, this must be reported to Technical and Environmental Services. The notification must be made no later than 3 working days after the move to the temporary location has been completed.

    When submitting to BOFA, a notification form must be submitted. The form must be signed by the company responsible for the earth removal and serves as documentation of the origin of the soil.

    For emergency excavations, BOFA's mapping site can be used. When soil is placed on the mapping site, the responsible company must sign a soil removal declaration on the scale. The responsible company must then arrange for the soil to be analysed and moved to the final depot within 3 months.

    Any questions can be directed to Technology and Environment:
    Kenneth Falch Hennings, +45 56 92 20 85 or email: Kenneth.Hennings@brk.dk.

  • Waste declaration business

    Waste producers must prepare a waste declaration before delivering waste suitable for landfill. The waste declaration can either be submitted via the "Report waste" system (button below) or alternatively via email: vejerbod@bofa.dk.

    The full guide can be downloaded here.

    Waste declaration - Term and validity

    Waste producers that continuously generate well-defined and uniform waste suitable for landfill only need to complete a basic characterisation once, which is valid for a period of up to 1 year.

    The waste producer receives an acceptance form from BOFA. This form serves as documentation.

    The carrier must bring the completed acceptance form with them when each delivery to the facility.

    The declaration and acceptance form must then be renewed annually by the landfill. This forms the basis for a possible extension.

    Producers who generate waste that is not produced regularly must fill out a new declaration each time the waste needs to be disposed of.

    The declaration can be cancelled without notice in case of misuse or failure to sort according to the receiving requirements of the facility.

    Waste producers without a P-number on Bornholm:
    You can download the declaration form under privateFill it out and submit it electronically to vejerbod@bofa.dk. It will then be processed like other declaration forms.

    Visual inspection
    BOFA staff perform a visual inspection of the waste both at the entrance to the facility and at the disposal site for all loads of waste for disposal.

    Rejection
    If the waste does not fulfil the landfill's reception requirements for waste suitable for landfill, it will be rejected. No later than the next working day after the rejection, the facility's supervisory authority, the waste producer and the home municipality will be informed of the rejection and the reason for it.

    Receipt
    A weighing slip is issued for each load of waste received for disposal. The weighing slip serves as the waste producer's receipt and documents that the waste has been weighed, sorted and classified in accordance with the receiving facility's reception requirements.
    The weighing slip also contains the legally required information about the carrier of the waste.

    Positive list
    Relevant EAK codes can be found in BOFA's positive list from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency: Positive list
