Establishments for the storage and recovery of WEEE

WEEE temporary storage facilities:
Those facilities that assume temporary responsibility for waste from electric and electronic equipment, except for distributors’ establishments, will be considered as waste managers and must apply for an environmental licence in accordance with Law 3/98 on the Comprehensive Intervention of the Environmental Administration (IIAA). Administrative procedures will be those corresponding to the classification of activity according to the appendices and codes below:

  Appendix I   code 10.1 Storage facilities for over 30 t of hazardous waste.
  Appendix II.1   code 10.2 Storage facilities for up to 30 t of hazardous waste.
  Appendix II.1   code 10.8 Storage facilities for over 20 t of hazardous waste.
  Appendix II.2   code 10.8 Storage facilities for up to 20 t of hazardous waste.

WEEE treatment facilities:
Treatment facilities must choose whether or not they restrict their activity to the management of non-hazardous WEEE, in accordance with the corresponding procedure:

  Appendix I   code 10.1 Facilities for the management of hazardous waste
  Appendix II.1   code 10.7 Facilities for the recovery of non-hazardous waste.

The technical requirements of both storage and treatment facilities appear in Appendix IV of Royal Decree 208/2005.

Whenever possible, storage must take place in covered zones, at least for waste that deteriorates in bad weather conditions, and always on waterproof surfaces, with facilities for the collection of possible spillages.
