- - 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 division includes the operation of sewerage systems or sewage treatment facilities, which collect, treat and discharge sewage into water bodies or operate surface impoundment.
- - This division also includes the operation of wastewater treatment facilities for reuse (for example, agricultural, industrial and road cleaning wastewater or collected rainwater).
| - - 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
- - paints and varnishes
- - biohazardous waste
| - - 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 class includes the disposal and treatment prior to disposal of non-hazardous or hazardous waste, whether the waste is solid or not, onto or into land (i.e. underground), or in permanent waste storage facilities or sites.
- - operation of landfills for the disposal of waste
- - treatment of organic waste for landfilling or permanent storage
- - disposal of by-products of animal origin in landfills
- - permanent underground storage of waste in a deep geological cavity (e.g. in salt or potassium mines)
