Three Different Provider Roles
| Provider | Core Role | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery or disposal operator | Receives, recovers or disposes of waste within the applicable authorisation | Identity, authorised activity and scope, validity and facility details |
| Collection operator | Carries out collection within the applicable authorisation and requirements | Permitted waste streams, quantities and lawful onward destination; collection is not automatically final disposal |
| Front-end compliance provider | Organises documents and coordinates process, contract and provider information | Scope, deliverables, responsibilities and actual recipient; a consulting contract is not an operating licence |

When Conghe May Be Relevant
If your documents and compliance route are already clear and you only need actual receipt, transport or treatment, check the appropriate operator directly. Incident response, waste identification and statutory technical reports require the responsible authority or suitably qualified specialist.
- You need to distinguish documents for filing, management plans, ledgers and transfers.
- You have a proposed recipient but need to coordinate the contract, documents and follow-up process.
- Your Shanghai waste management task overlaps with EIA acceptance, permits or testing coordination.
- An annual update, process change or provider change requires a document consistency review.
Information for a Service Enquiry
- District, actual waste-generating address, sector and the specific task.
- Waste name, generating activity, any code and its basis; flag uncertainties.
- Approximate generation, current stock, packaging, site conditions and timing.
- An inventory of existing contracts, recipient details, plans and environmental documents.
- Whether the need is document coordination or actual collection, transport, recovery or disposal.
Workflow and Handover Records
- Define the task and exclusions; identify the adviser, generator and actual operator separately.
- Review documents and gaps; separate matters requiring another qualified specialist.
- Agree scope, fee components, data-use authorisation and responsibilities.
- Organise documents and perform agreed coordination. The business confirms important submission content.
- Hand over completed and outstanding items, a document index, feedback records and follow-up reminders.
How to Compare Quotations
Separate advisory/document fees, actual receipt or treatment fees, transport/packaging charges and any testing or identification costs. Check inclusions and exclusions. Waste characteristics, quantity, packaging, site conditions, destination and timing affect the arrangement.
There is no universal per-tonne price, lowest-price promise or guaranteed completion time on this page. Obtain a written scope after the relevant information and recipient arrangement are clear.
Checks and Common Risks
- An “environmental” or “recycling” company name, recycling registration or consulting contract is not a hazardous waste operating licence.
- Check the contracting party, actual recipient and authorised operator. Verify transport separately under the applicable rules.
- Avoid arrangements with unclear destinations, requests to under-report quantities or pressure to hand over waste based on price alone.
- A contract does not itself authorise an interprovincial transfer; Article 536 sets an approval requirement.
- Retain contracts, licence checks, submissions, transfer records and final feedback. Hiring an adviser does not transfer all generator responsibilities.

Related Questions
Is Conghe a plant that directly receives hazardous waste?
No. This website identifies Conghe as a front-end compliance service provider. Actual collection, receipt, recovery and disposal require separate checks of the operator and applicable authorisation.

Can a collection operator handle every hazardous waste stream?
Do not assume so. Check applicable authorisation, the specific waste stream and onward destination. Collection is not unrestricted final treatment.

Must the business still review documents after appointing an adviser?
Yes. Verify data, confirm important submissions and retain records. Advisory assistance does not remove the business’s own responsibilities.
