Waste collectors and/or operators of waste treatment facilities that are subject to recording requirements have to record continuously the following data:
A summary of the data from the preceding calendar year must be reported to the competent authority once a year (annual waste balance).
Please note that waste collectors or waste operators of waste treatment facilities who are subject to recording requirements and who have neither taken over nor handed over waste nor carried out any waste treatment in the previous calendar year must submit a blank report.
The annual waste balance has to be notified in electronic form via a defined interface on edm.gv.at (→ BMK). For this purpose, the waste collector or the operator of the waste treatment facilities logs into edm.gv.at using his/her access data (user name and password) and there uploads his/her annual waste balance sheet (XML file) by the application "Bilanzen". Entrepreneurs registered in the Business Service Portal USP have the possibility to use this and many other online proceduresGerman text with one single logging into the USP. More detailed information on the registration in the USP is available in the online guidance on USP registrationGerman text.
The annual waste balance sheet has to be uploaded as XML file to edm.gv.at. The necessary content and structures are set out in the Abfallbilanzverordnung (Waste Balance Ordinance). The blank report is based on section 21 paragraph 3 of the Abfallwirtschaftsgesetz (Waste Management Act – AWG) and only has to contain the type of report, the legal entity and the reporting period.
The file format needed for the electronic transmission has been published on edm.gv.at.
For "small" landfill operators, electronic support is offered on edm.gv.at, that may be used by other "small" waste collectors or waste management operators as well. This electronic support can also be used to create the blank report.
