Annual waste reporting

Service description

Submit your site’s annual report for waste not subject to regulatory controls (nk) and for other waste subject to regulatory controls without mandatory accompanying documentation (ak). This information must be submitted every year and is checked by the cantonal offices.

	1. Have you already registered the responsible organisation? If not, please complete the service Create organsiation under My organisation.
	2. Have you registered the site for your waste facility and has a site number been assigned to the site? If not, please complete the service Apply for site and site number.
	3. The annual waste report can only be started if the preconditions according to steps 1 and 2 are fulfilled.

When do I need to submit an annual report?

From the 2022 reporting period onwards, other waste subject to regulatory controls without mandatory accompanying documentation (ak) must be reported using this service in the DETEC eGovernment portal instead of, as previously, in veva-online. 

All sites that meet the following criteria are required to submit an annual report: 

• All waste disposal facilities and material extraction sites to be filled or recultivated.

What information needs to be provided?

The corresponding reports from the waste disposal facilities include the waste received and forwarded. When forwarding other waste subject to regulatory controls without mandatory accompanying documentation (ak), you have to enter the company number. For waste not subject to regulatory controls (nk), this is optional. The company number entered must be a waste disposal facility.
Products can be recorded voluntarily or by cantonal directive (see image 5 in Berichterstattung nach VVEA (PDF, 1 MB, 28.10.2019) (admin.ch)).  

Special waste [S] and waste subject to regulatory controls with mandatory accompanying documentation [akb], as well as imports and exports within the scope of a notification, are still recorded via veva-online (VeVA process) until further notice.

Upload in CSV file format

Information on the corresponding quantities can also be submitted in a CSV file if that file follows the same format as the template provided.

What is the process for this?

All changes are checked by the relevant cantonal office. You will be notified if any errors or inconsistencies are found. Once the information submitted is approved by the cantonal office, it is forwarded to and approved by the Waste and Resources division of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN).
