BDO waste stream - what does it mean and how to label it correctly?

IN BDO waste stream is not a separate waste code, but an additional piece of information assigned to the waste type in the relevant system forms. This is an important distinction, as many users confuse the waste stream with the waste catalogue code itself. The official instructions clearly show that the form first indicates waste code and type, and only next to or below you select waste stream. In practice, the stream helps to clarify the origin of the waste and organise its inclusion in the system, which is important for reporting and monitoring waste flows at the BDO system-wide level.

What are the types of waste streams in BDO

Official BDO instructions indicate three possible waste stream designations: municipal (group 20), from the municipal waste stream (other than group 20) and other. This means that the system user does not enter the stream freely, but selects one of the ready-made categories provided by the form. From a practical perspective, the most important thing is to correctly distinguish whether the waste belongs to group 20, whether it comes from the municipal waste stream despite a different code, or whether it should be classified as „other”. It is this choice that later influences the correctness of the data reported in the system.

Where does the „waste stream” field appear in the BDO system”

The waste stream field appears in the official BDO instructions for the generated waste and waste management reports, among others in the sections on generated, collected and stored waste. The instructions show it as an element of the form alongside waste code, waste mass and dry mass, confirming that it is not a purely theoretical concept, but a real field that needs to be completed in specific parts of the system. For the user, this means that the waste stream question in BDO is most often not about the company registration itself, but about the correct filling in of the data in the reporting module.

Why correct identification of the waste stream matters

Correct waste stream assignment is not only a housekeeping issue, but also a systemic one, as BDO serves to monitor the flow of waste streams and increase control over waste management in the country. Incorrect stream attribution can therefore distort the consistency of the data reported, especially when the entrepreneur is doing the recording and reporting himself. In practice, the safe approach looks like this: first, the correct waste code and type, and only then assign the correct waste stream according to the options available on the form. This is the reason why the topic, although technical, is of great importance for correct record keeping in BDO.
