In today’s post we would like to inform you about how to obtain the authorisation for non-hazardous waste management in Spain. Many of you ask us about what to do or what requirements are needed to obtain the licence. In the case of Spain, each autonomous community has its own methodology. The aim of this post is to help you to obtain the authorisation through direct links to the administrations of each autonomous community.
Normally, this procedure was carried out in person, but due to digitalisation, it can now be done online, saving time and effort. Each community has its own requirements but, as a general rule, a fee must be paid and certain documentation must be submitted.
How to obtain authorisation for waste management
Below is a list of the autonomous communities and all you have to do is click on each one to go to the relevant administration and start the online process:
- Andalusia
- Aragón
- Principality of Asturias
- Balearic Islands

In this way, an authorised waste manager will assure the company that its waste will be treated correctly by accredited and already registered entities, so that the traceability of the waste is assured since the operations are documented.
