Waste management is a legal responsibility for businesses of all sizes, not just large-scale production facilities.<\/p>

However, one of the most frequently asked questions by small businesses is:<\/p>

\u201cWe have less than 50 kilograms of waste. Do we still have to send it to licensed facilities?\u201d<\/p>

The answer is clear: Yes.<\/p>

Even in small quantities, waste may pose environmental risks and must be managed properly.<\/p>

In this article, we explain the process of sending waste under 50 kg step by step.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

According to the \u201cWaste Management Regulation<\/strong>\u201d and the \u201cRegulation on the Control of Hazardous Waste<\/strong>,\u201d all hazardous waste must be sent to licensed facilities regardless of quantity.<\/p>

However, the Ministry has introduced a special procedure for businesses generating small quantities of waste: the exemption for waste shipments under 50 kilograms.<\/strong><\/p>

This procedure allows for a simplified declaration through E\u00c7BS (Integrated Environmental Information System). However, the \u201cexemption\u201d does not mean that waste can be disposed of without using a licensed facility.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

This procedure allows small businesses generating less than 50 kg of hazardous waste per year to send their waste collectively and at a lower cost.<\/p>

Purpose:<\/p>

  • To ensure that every business disposes of its waste without harming the environment,<\/li>
  • To protect small-scale waste generators from high transportation costs,<\/li>
  • To ensure that waste tracking is recorded in the national system (E\u00c7BS).<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Step 1 \u2013 Waste Identification<\/h4>

    First, the type and code of the waste are identified. Each type of waste has a \u201cwaste code\u201d defined in Annex 4 of the Waste Management Regulation. <\/p>

    Example:<\/p>

    • 14 06 03 \u2192 Waste solvents containing ethers<\/li>
    • 13 02 05 \u2192 Waste mineral oils<\/li><\/ul>

      This code forms the basis of the shipment process.<\/p>

      Step 2 \u2013 Declaration via E\u00c7BS<\/h4>

      Log in to the E\u00c7BS system and create a \u201cWaste Shipment Notification.\u201d For shipments under 50 kg, log in to your company\u2019s E\u00c7BS account. (If you do not have an account, you can call the numbers on our contact page for free assistance.)<\/p>

      Go to Waste Shipment Operations > >\u00d6TL \/ Under 50 kg \/ Photo. >Waste and select the section for adding a waste transportation request. <\/p>

      \"\"<\/p>

      Here, you enter:<\/p>

      • Waste generator information,<\/li>
      • Waste code,<\/li>
      • Quantity,<\/li>
      • Carrier and receiving facility information.<\/li><\/ul>

        Step 3 \u2013 Transportation or Shipping<\/h4>

        The waste must be delivered to facilities licensed by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, such as 4R \u00c7evre ve Enerji.<\/p>

        During transportation:<\/p>

        • Appropriate labeling must be applied,<\/li>
        • Leak-proof packaging must be used,<\/li>
        • The transportation form (UATF) is approved digitally through E\u00c7BS.<\/li><\/ul>

          4R \u00c7evre ve Enerji provides disposal services for these types of small-quantity waste.<\/p>

          Step 4 \u2014 Delivery and Disposal<\/h4>


          Waste can be shipped to licensed facilities by courier.<\/p>

          COMMUNIQU\u00c9 ON THE TRANSPORTATION OF WASTE BY ROAD<\/p>

          Section 1<\/p>

          General Principles<\/p>

          As stipulated in Article 5(1), subparagraph (h):<\/p>

          h) Except for medical waste, wastes covered by this Communiqu\u00e9 that are transported in quantities of less than 50 kg per shipment are not required to be transported by a licensed vehicle. However, UATF is used to ensure that these wastes are properly recorded. <\/p>

          (Note: MoTAT is used instead of UATF.)<\/p>

          Simply create a request to receive an automatic shipping code and arrange doorstep pickup from anywhere in T\u00fcrkiye. Click here to ship immediately using the transportation number obtained through the E\u00c7BS system…<\/p>

          The waste is delivered to a licensed temporary storage or recovery facility. Once the facility receives the waste, it is marked as \u201cReceived\u201d in the system. At this point, the company’s waste shipment process is officially completed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

          The 50 kg limit is assessed separately for each type of waste. If you have more than one type of waste, a separate declaration is required for each. <\/p>

          Even for \u201csmall quantities,\u201d the temporary storage period must not exceed 180 days.<\/p>

          Transportation by unlicensed companies is strictly prohibited. If detected, an administrative fine of at least TRY 242,000 applies as of 2025 (Article 20 of the Environmental Law). <\/p>

          Waste packaging must be leak-proof and durable. If any leakage or spillage occurs during transportation, the waste generator is responsible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

          4R \u00c7evre ve Enerji has developed the \u201cMicro Shipment Program<\/strong>\u201d to ensure that even small quantities of waste are managed without harming the environment.<\/p>

          With this program:<\/p>

          • Waste under 50 kg can be transported by courier,<\/li>
          • Businesses’ E\u00c7BS declarations are handled by 4R experts,<\/li>
          • All documents (UATF, delivery note and weighing slip) are provided digitally.<\/li><\/ul>

            This enables small businesses to fully comply with regulations while also improving the overall efficiency of waste management in T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

            Although shipping waste under 50 kilograms may seem like a minor detail, it is one of the most important aspects of environmental responsibility. Ensuring that every type of waste is properly transported, accurately recorded and correctly disposed of is essential for a sustainable T\u00fcrkiye.<\/strong><\/p>

            At 4R \u00c7evre ve Enerji, we believe that even small amounts of waste can make a big difference.<\/strong>Small quantity, big responsibility.<\/p>
