The concepts used in this Law have the following values:
production waste - the raw materials, materials, substances, semifinished products, objects and other remaining balance of products formed in production process or performance of works (services) and fully or partially the lost primary consumer properties, and also again formed objects and substances of similar origin which are not object of production and of the properties of use which are not entering engineering procedure;
household waste (municipal solid waste) - the objects, substances and materials which are formed in the places of residence of the population as a result of its life activity;
dangerous wastes - the waste containing in the structure having dangerous properties explosive, capable to ignition, the oxidizing, toxic, infectious, corrosion and ecotoxic substances creating direct or potential danger for health of the population and the environment;
safe waste - the waste which is not exerting directly adverse effect on the environment;
secondary raw materials - waste which can be reused in economic activity taking into account technical or technological capabilities, and also cost efficiency;
unsuitable waste - waste with limited properties of use, inefficient from the economic point of view for reuse;
conversion of waste - the purposeful activities consisting of process of collection, preserving, sorting, transportation and neutralization of waste;
placement of waste - activities for preserving or waste disposal;
neutralization of waste - conversion of waste on special installations (including their burning) or burial for the purpose of decrease in environmental impact and health of the person;
the waste substances and objects eliminated, provided for elimination, which are subject to elimination according to legislation provisions;
waste management - activities process in case of which there is waste, and also activities for collection (accumulation), sorting, transportation, placement, conversion, use, utilization, neutralization and waste disposal;

the owner (owner) of waste - the physical person or legal entity which is the producer of waste, or their owner;
engineering procedure - activities of production unit according to production schedules with the approved term of its start;
the place of emergence of production waste - engineering procedure or floor spaces (companies) on which they arise;
identification of waste - the procedure of determination of belonging of specific dangerous wastes to certain types and properties based on passport data or testings;
