Waste Management Licensing — Decision or Registration
Waste management activities in Georgia are regulated by the Waste Management Code and, depending on the scale and type of the activity, fall into one of two administrative forms: the environmental decision and registration. On this page you will learn which activity requires which form, where the boundaries run in tonnes, and how the transboundary movement of waste is regulated.
This distinction directly affects time and cost: the environmental decision means a full administrative procedure, while registration is a light form for small scale operations. Knowing the thresholds precisely determines the regime in which you declare your activity and how quickly you can start operating.
