MPD number in BDO - what is it and what is it used for?

Q: What does MPD mean in BDO?

MPD is place of business , which is usually a plant or other location at a single address associated with the generation, collection or treatment of waste.

The MPD number in BDO is place of business number, and MPD itself means place of business. The official BDO knowledge base explains that an MPD is most often the site of an establishment or other place of business at a single address associated with the generation of non-municipal waste, collection or treatment of waste by a given waste holder. This is important, because the MPD number is not the same as the BDO registration number of the entire business. The registration number identifies the entity and the MPD number identifies the specific place of business assigned to that entity.

Where to find the MPD number in the BDO system

In the BDO system, the MPD number is visible in the list of places of business assigned to the selected entity. The official BDO manual indicates that, once a company is selected, the system displays a table of places of business, and this contains place of business number, place name and address. In addition, the navigation instructions show that, in the top user panel, the system displays the name and number of the selected entity and the name and number of the selected place of business. In practice, this means that the MPD number can be read when logged into BDO, after entering the context of a specific entity and its location.

What the MPD number is needed for

The MPD number is used to correctly assign waste activities to a specific company location. In BDO's official instructions, it appears, among other things, in records and reporting, where the forms include fields for name of place of business, business number and address. In practice, the MPD number is relevant when a company operates in more than one location, keeps waste records, issues documents in the system or reports for specific locations. It is therefore a mistake to equate the MPD number with the BDO registration number of the whole company - they are two different identifiers used for different purposes.

When to add a new MPD in BDO

If an operator starts a new site or finds that one of the sites is missing from the list in the system, he or she can add a new MPD on their own from the main user account. The official BDO knowledge base indicates that when a new site is added, the operator automatically becomes able to issue waste transfer cards, municipal waste transfer cards and keep records at that site. At the same time, when a new MPD is added, an update application must be submitted to the relevant Marshal's Office within 30 days of the change occurring. This just goes to show that the MPD number is not just a technical designation in the system, but part of the real organisation of the company's responsibilities in BDO.
