Waste management is the implementation of prescribed measures for handling with waste within collecting, transport, storage, treatment, that is reuse and disposal of waste.

Article 5 of the Law on Waste Management defines that a trader is any legal entity or entrepreneur who buys and sells waste on his own behalf, including traders who do not take possession of the waste. The same article defines that an intermediary is a legal entity or an entrepreneur who organizes the reuse or disposal of waste on behalf of other persons, including an intermediary who does not take possession of the waste.
The waste dealer is considered the owner of the waste he purchased and can take possession of the waste if he has a waste storage facility for which a permit has been issued in accordance with the Waste Management Act.
The activity of inter-mediation in waste management includes the tasks of organization of treatment, i.e. reuse and disposal of waste, i.e. mediation in the transfer of rights and obligations related to waste for the needs of others.
