Urban waste is defined in Article 3(2) of European Council Directive 2008/98/EC on waste as ¿mixed waste and household waste collected separately, including paper and paperboard, glass, metals, plastics, biowaste, wood, textiles, packaging, waste electrical and electronic equipment, waste batteries and accumulators, and bulk waste, including mattresses and furniture¿ and ¿mixed waste and waste collected separately from other sources, where such waste is similar in nature and composition to household waste.¿ Wastes that are similar in nature and composition to household waste can also be collected from companies, being also considered in this case as municipal waste unless they originate in production.¿ In addition, the definition is without prejudice to the allocation of waste management responsibilities between public and private actors, i.e. it is irrelevant to the definition who collects waste or in the name of which entity the waste is collected.
