Question: I would like to start doing a waste report for 2019 in the BDO system. And there, one of the sections in the Reports on generated waste and waste management tab is Waste electrical and electronic equipment. Do I have to fill in something there, or only in section XI I mention 16 02 14 as one of the codes of generated waste, and enter the weight and that's it?

Question: I run a commercial unit selling automotive parts, incl. batteries. I only buy goods in the country. I pick up old batteries when selling new ones (required by the law). In the company, I pack the goods in bags when selling, therefore I have registered with BDO and I pay the recycling fee. I also submitted the first report for 2019 on plastic bags. In the company, I also have boxes of goods, which are collected by the company in accordance with the contract concluded with it. I do not exceed the annual amount of 5 tons obliging to keep a record of waste. I only issue a waste transfer card when collecting cardboard boxes and a waste transfer card when selling old batteries collected from customers to a company that has a waste collection permit (I also have an agreement with this company). I wanted to ask if I am managing waste correctly in my company and if I should also submit reports as a waste producer in section XII of the BDO. I know that I do not need to register with BDO, if I am not obliged to keep records, but issuing KPO itself is simplified records. Should I submit these reports in this regard? Or maybe I should not issue waste transfer cards? I am a bit confused about this. I am asking for help and solution of doubts.
