Waste & Recycling Logistics
Smart logistics for regulated, high-risk and sustainability-driven waste flows – from pickup to processing

Through proactive planning, ESG reporting, and full supply chain visibility, we help you reduce emissions, ensure compliance, and gain control of your waste flows.

Frequently asked questions about our waste & recycling logistics services
What permits are needed for international waste transport?
Transporting waste across borders requires specific permits depending on the type of waste, destination country, and transport mode.
ColliCare holds all necessary international permits for waste transport in the Nordics and Europe, ensuring full compliance with national and EU regulations.
How do walking floor trailers work?
Walking floor trailers are designed for bulk transport of waste and recyclable materials.
They use a hydraulic floor system that “walks” the load out of the trailer, allowing for safe and efficient unloading without tipping.

What safety routines are required at waste facilities?
Waste facilities have strict safety requirements.
Drivers must be trained in site-specific routines, wear protective equipment, and follow emergency instructions – often in English.
ColliCare ensures all drivers are trained and certified to operate safely at waste handling sites.
How does ColliCare support ESG and sustainability goals?
We actively reduce emissions through multimodal transport, increased use of rail and sea, and biofuels like HVO and LBG.
Our logistics solutions are aligned with Science Based Targets and include ESG reporting, sustainable procurement, and carbon tracking.
Can ColliCare handle customs and documentation for waste export?
Yes - we manage all customs documentation, permits, and clearances required for international waste transport.
Our experienced planners ensure seamless handling from pickup to delivery, including regulatory compliance and reporting.
