Waste & Hostel Registration

Permits

/ Permits / Waste & Hostel Registration

Waste business permits and hostel registration are both licences that require the facilities and equipment to be in place first.

Misreading the requirements and investing in plant first is hard to undo.
Reviewing the requirements before you start is the whole point.

Waste collection
and transport
COLLECTION

  • You are seeking a permit for the collection and transport of business or household waste
  • You need the equipment and facility requirements — vehicles, parking, contact premises — assessed
  • You need to extend your operating area or amend the terms of the permit

The number and specification of vehicles required varies with the type of waste. Designated waste is subject to stricter requirements.

Waste recycling RECYCLING

  • You have recycling facilities and are seeking a waste recycling permit
  • Your business plan has been found suitable and you now need the full permit
  • You need to define the recycling type and the range of waste covered

Recycling runs in two stages: business plan submitted → found suitable → facilities installed → permit applied for. The site and the recycling type are settled at the first stage.

Hostel registration HOSTEL

  • You wish to register a hostel under the Tourism Promotion Act
  • You need the building use and facility standards — rooms, cooking area, sanitary facilities — reviewed
  • You need the guest-information arrangements required for foreign visitors

How it proceeds PROCESS

  1. 01
    Assessing requirementsSite, building use and the required facilities, equipment and technical staff are matched against the standards.
  2. 02
    Business planThe plan is built to the permit or registration standard and discussed with the authority in advance.
  3. 03
    Facilities and equipmentOnce the plan is found suitable, the actual plant, vehicles and staff are put in place.
  4. 04
    ApplicationWe file with the documents in order and handle the on-site inspection.
  5. 05
    Ongoing obligationsWe explain the change notifications and performance reports needed to keep the permit.

Take advice before investing in plant. Investing in a site or building that cannot meet the requirements is where the largest losses occur.
