2.7 Waste materials
Material that meets the requirements set out in Article 8 of these regulations.

Article 3. Validity

3.1 These conditions apply to all offerings of waste materials at Holland Recycling’s yards and to all offerings of waste materials in containers placed by Holland Recycling. By offering the waste materials, the supplier is deemed to agree to these regulations.

3.2 Deviations from the regulations are only valid insofar as they have been accepted in writing by the manager. Deviations only apply for the duration or quantity set out in an agreement between the supplier and the manager. Deviations may in no way conflict with statutory provisions.

Article 4. Management and operation

The yards are located at: De Schouwrooij 8 in Boxtel and Colenhoef 4 in Boxtel.

Article 5. Access

The yard is only accessible to staff of the processing facility and (once permission has been obtained) persons delivering waste materials to be offered. If the supplier/carrier causes a nuisance or hinders the normal course of business within the processing facility, they may be denied access to the yard.

Article 6. Opening hours

The yard is open on business days: 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

Article 7. Offering of waste materials

Hazardous waste, with the exception of certain underground cables, may not be offered at the processing facility. If a supplier does so anyway, this waste will be refused.

Article 8. Acceptance of waste materials

8.1 Holland Recycling accepts both hazardous and non-hazardous waste materials from the following categories: metals, waste electrical and electronic equipment, batteries, and plastics. Loose batteries, or unsorted loads containing loose batteries, will be refused.

8.2 Which waste materials from the categories mentioned in 8.1 are accepted exactly depends on the applicable European waste code (Eural code). A current overview of waste codes accepted by Holland Recycling is available at reception and can be provided on request.

8.3 Waste materials that Holland Recycling is not permitted to accept can, on request, still be collected on-site from the supplier for direct transport to a suitable waste company.

8.4 If, during pre-acceptance or at receipt, there is doubt as to whether a waste material may be accepted, further investigation into the composition of the waste material will be carried out in consultation with the supplier. This can range from sensory inspection by Holland Recycling to chemical analysis by an external laboratory. Investigation results are not open to dispute, and any costs thereof will be passed on to the supplier.

8.5 Waste materials found to be unacceptable during receipt inspection must be removed without delay by or on behalf of the supplier to a suitable waste company. Likewise, if waste materials, after initial acceptance, are later found to be unacceptable due to their composition, these must be removed without delay by or on behalf of the supplier to a suitable waste company, as instructed by Holland Recycling.

8.6 If the supplier fails to remove waste materials refused (or subsequently refused) on the instruction of Holland Recycling, these waste materials will be removed to a suitable waste company at the supplier’s expense. In such cases, the supplier will also be denied access to the facility for a period at Holland Recycling’s discretion.

8.7 Records are kept of refused waste materials, which may be inspected by the competent authority on request.

Article 9. Offering procedure

9.1 The carrier of the waste materials must report to the desk at the weighbridge.

9.2 The acceptor assesses whether the materials are accepted. This is based on the data to be provided by the carrier as referred to in Article 9, paragraph 5, and the inspection of the material carried out by the acceptor. If there is doubt about the degree of contamination of the BA, action is taken in accordance with Article 8, paragraph 5. The acceptor is at all times entitled to refuse materials delivered.

9.3 The weighbridge employee determines the category into which the offered BA is classified.

9.4 The weight of the offered BA is determined by weighing, using the weighbridge present on-site.

9.5 An acceptance slip (weigh ticket) is drawn up for every load delivered and accepted, on which the following details are stated: – ticket number – date and time – supplier – supplier’s signature – origin of BA (construction project, sorting facility, demolition site) – quantity of waste – nature and composition – type/category according to the acceptance regulations – carrier – vehicle registration number.

9.6 Identification with a valid proof of identity is mandatory for anyone offering copper-containing materials who wishes to be paid in cash.

9.7 Weigh tickets are kept by the administration for a period of three years.

9.8 After acceptance and weighing, the delivered BA may be unloaded. In doing so, the carrier must follow the instructions of the yard staff.

Article 10. Further provisions regarding delivered waste materials

The “acceptance conditions” list indicates which materials must be refused.

Article 11. Prices

11.1 Processing rates apply per tonne and are set annually, or in the interim if there is reason to do so.

11.2 Processing rates are calculated on the weighed quantity, and additionally according to the category classification indicated by the weighbridge employee.

11.3 Payout only takes place for a value per load with a reasonable return: only deliveries with a value above €1,000. Preferably register in advance.

11.4 If material is delivered unsorted or sent in such a way that sorting takes substantial time, the delivery will not be accepted by us.

11.5 If material is packaged per piece, or packaged in such a way that unpacking takes substantial time, we will deduct €0.10 per kilogram from the payout.

11.6 The invoice will state the sequence numbers of the weigh tickets.

Article 12. Liability

12.1 The supplier/carrier is liable for damage caused by them, their staff, or equipment used by them, or by the waste materials or other materials delivered by them, to the staff and property of the manager or of third parties working for the manager.

12.2 In the case referred to in Article 12, paragraph 1, the supplier/carrier indemnifies the manager against all damage claims from third parties, regardless of the cause of the damage.

12.3 If a carrier offers materials on behalf of the supplier/collector, both the supplier/collector and the carrier or their representative(s) are liable for the damage referred to in this article.

12.4 The manager accepts no liability for entering and driving on the site.
