National Waste Management Center Permits: What You Need to Know

The National Waste Management Center (MWAN) oversees the regulation of the waste sector in Saudi Arabia, and its permits are a core requirement for any facility that generates, transports, or treats waste of any kind.

Why does your facility need a permit?

The permit ensures waste is managed in line with regulatory requirements, protects the facility from violations and fines, and is a prerequisite for completing many other government procedures.

Activities that require a permit

• Generating industrial or hazardous waste.
• Collecting and transporting waste.
• Storing or sorting waste.
• Treating, disposing of, or recycling waste.

Steps to obtain the permit

1. Identify the activity category and the associated waste type.
2. Prepare the facility’s technical documents and data.
3. Submit the application through the Center’s platform and meet the requirements.
4. Follow up on the application until the permit is issued.
