About this procedure
The RACDA, Venezuela's registry of activities that may harm the environment, is the backbone of environmental oversight in Venezuela, and registering as a waste generator is mandatory for every company whose activity produces hazardous waste: workshops, industries, labs, clinics, print shops and many more than you'd think. The law on hazardous substances, materials and waste requires registering and authorizing the generation, handling, transport and disposal of that waste, precisely because mishandling it affects everyone's health and environment.
Many companies don't even know they generate waste classified as hazardous, such as used oil, contaminated containers, and chemical or electronic waste, and they operate for years without the registration until an environmental inspection, or the need to hire an authorized waste handler, uncovers the omission. And the consequences are serious: if you're not registered as a generator, you can't legally hand over your waste to an authorized handler, you're exposed to environmental penalties, and you carry a liability that gets more complicated every year it goes unresolved.
We register you and get you organized: we identify the waste your activity generates, prepare the required documents and handle your registration as a generator in the RACDA with the environmental authority, leaving you cleared to handle your waste in line with the law. The price starts at $140 and is adjusted to your case. A lawyer reviews your situation and confirms with you before we start, no strings attached.
