Hazardous Waste Companies in Guangdong, China (2026 Directory, 158 listed)

This directory compiles basic information on 158 hazardous waste-related enterprises in Guangdong Province. The sources are publicly available channels at various levels of ecology and environment departments, including hazardous waste operating permit disclosures, pollutant discharge permit issuance information, enterprise environmental information disclosure platforms, and environmental impact assessment approvals for construction projects, manually compared and entered. The fields included are mainly verifiable content, including city, approved operating methods, approved categories, etc., and do not include capacity or quotations that have not been confirmed through public channels. It is suitable for reference by personnel responsible for hazardous waste transfers at waste-generating units, by procurement staff needing to screen disposal service providers, and by practitioners doing peer comparisons. The directory is only a lead list, not proof of qualification. Before any cooperation, you should return to official channels to re-verify the scope and validity of the certificates.

3. How to verify these companies

1. First check the Hazardous Waste Operating Permit. Go to the official website of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment or the National Solid Waste Management Information System, and search by company name or permit number. Focus on four items: approved operating methods (collection, storage, utilization, disposal), approved waste categories and HW codes, approved scale, and certificate validity period. If any item is missing, ask for clarification. 2. Match the waste codes you actually generate one by one against the categories listed on the permit. Don't just look at whether "hazardous waste" appears in the company name; many companies are actually approved for only a few categories. 3. Check the Pollutant Discharge Permit on the National Pollutant Discharge Permit Management Information Platform to see whether the facilities, discharge outlets, and permitted content match the operating permit. 4. Check the provincial enterprise environmental information disclosure platform, Credit China, and administrative penalty disclosures by ecology and environment departments to confirm whether there are records of environmental penalties in recent years, abnormal operation status, or suspended/revoked certificates. 5. When transferring, fill out an electronic transfer manifest through the provincial solid waste supervision platform. The receiving unit's name and permit number must match the certificate; for cross-province transfers, also confirm whether the corresponding approval procedures are complete.

4. What to watch out for

Common pitfalls fall into three types: 1. The permit is near expiry or the category does not match, so a contract is signed but the waste cannot be legally accepted. 2. The company only has collection and storage qualifications and actually transfers the waste to a third party; with more intermediary links, manifests and ledgers are prone to broken chains. 3. The quotation is significantly lower than peers, often corresponding to non-compliant disposal destinations. In addition, verbal promises such as "guaranteed disposal" and "can be picked up at any time" must be put into the contract, specifying the waste codes, pricing composition, settlement method, and liability for breach. Transfer manifests and disposal certificates should also be kept by batch for future self-inspection and inspection response.
