Collection of non-hazardous waste

NACE v2.1 Code: E38.11

About collection of non-hazardous waste

NACE code 38.11 covers the collection of non-hazardous waste, an essential industry that plays a crucial role in the broader waste management and recycling ecosystem. This industry is responsible for gathering and transporting a wide range of non-hazardous materials, including household waste, commercial refuse, and certain industrial byproducts, ensuring their proper disposal or recycling. As the global focus on sustainability and environmental protection continues to grow, the importance of efficient and responsible non-hazardous waste collection has become increasingly paramount.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the non-hazardous waste collection industry involve the use of specialized vehicles, such as garbage trucks and compactors, to gather waste from various sources, including residential areas, commercial establishments, and industrial facilities. These vehicles are equipped with mechanisms to safely and efficiently load, compact, and transport the collected waste to designated disposal or recycling facilities. The industry also utilizes various sorting and separation methods to segregate different types of non-hazardous waste, facilitating their subsequent processing and recycling.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the non-hazardous waste collection industry include the vehicles and equipment used for waste collection, such as garbage trucks, compactors, and sorting machinery. Additionally, the industry relies on a workforce of drivers, loaders, and waste management professionals to carry out the collection and transportation processes. Fuel, maintenance, and operational supplies are also essential inputs for the smooth functioning of this industry.

Production outputs

The main output of the non-hazardous waste collection industry is the gathered and transported waste, which is then directed to various 38.21 Waste treatment and disposal and 38.32 Recovery of sorted materials facilities for further processing, recycling, or disposal. The collected waste can be used as a raw material for the production of new goods, contributing to the circular economy and reducing the environmental impact of waste.
