| Official inclusions | - - This group includes the collection of waste from households and businesses (for example, by means of bins, containers). It includes collection of non-hazardous and hazardous waste (for example, diapers, used batteries, demolition waste, waste oil from households and ships).
| - - This group includes waste pretreatment and recovery of both non-hazardous and hazardous waste. Included are materials recovery, energy recovery resulting from thermal treatment of waste and other forms of waste recovery. Treatment prior to recovery of various forms of waste by different means is also included in the group.
| - - This group includes waste disposal of both non-hazardous and hazardous waste. Included are thermal treatment without energy recovery, landfilling, release in bodies of water and permanent storage of waste. Treatment prior to disposal of various forms of waste by different means (for example, the treatment of organic waste with the aim of disposal; the treatment and disposal of toxic live or dead animals and other contaminated waste; the treatment and disposal of transitional radioactive waste from hospitals, etc.) are also included.
- - This group also includes burial or ploughing under of refuse; disposal of used goods to eliminate harmful waste.
| - - collection of non-hazardous solid waste (i.e. garbage) within a local area (e.g. from households and businesses), by means of refuse bins, wheeled bins and containers, which may contain mixed recoverable materials
- - collection of recyclable materials (separated or not)
- - collection of non-hazardous waste of animal or vegetal origin
- - collection of used cooking oils and fats
- - collection of refuse in public places
| - - This class includes the collection of hazardous waste (for example, explosive, oxidising, flammable toxic, irritant, carcinogenic, corrosive, infectious and other substances) and preparations harmful for human health and the environment. The activities may also include identification, treatment, packaging and labelling of waste for the purposes of transport.
- - collection of hazardous waste, e.g.:
- - used oil from ships or garages
