Changes in BDO – new regulations for 2025

The change that will affect all entrepreneurs entered in the BDO register is the increase in the annual and registration fee . It is dictated by, among other things, the growing costs of maintaining, running and developing BDO.

Let us remind you that the deadline for paying the annual fee for a given calendar year expires at the end of February – in 2025 it will be February 28. The annual fee must be paid in the new amount by that date.

From January 2025, the obligation to segregate construction and demolition waste into 6 fractions will come into force . However, the latest change is the departure from the requirement to ensure the segregation of R&D waste at the place of its generation – the entrepreneur will be able to transfer the obligation to segregate it to another entity with appropriate permits and entries in the BDO, provided that an appropriate agreement is signed. In the previous version of the regulations, the legislator obliged every producer of construction and demolition waste to segregate it at source. As a result of the amendment to the Waste Act, the possibility of segregating waste outside the place of its generation was introduced, but without releasing the entrepreneur from the responsibility for ensuring the implementation of this obligation.
