Yes, Germany has a regulation regarding waste as well. In Germany a permit for the transportation of dangerous waste is obligatory. Companies that transport, collect, sell or buy harmless waste have to report their activities to the competent authorities before the activities start. If you have a community license, this is not required.

More information and an application form can be found at the website of the ZKS-Abfall (Zentrale Koordinierungsstelle www.zks-abfall.de ) or send an email to support@zks-abfall.de.
