DECLARATION
Ministry of Metal Industry and ore mines
of 1 July 1960
on metal waste management
The Ministry of the metallurgical and ore mines provides in agreement with the other participating central authorities pursuant to § 6 of Decree No. 68 / 1960 Coll., on the Management of Metal Waste and Collective Ingredients:
Scope
(1) This decree covers the capture, collection, purchase, sorting, storage, treatment and consumption of metallic waste.
(2) Metal waste is waste of steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals resulting from metallurgical and foundry production and from the processing of metallurgical semi-finished products, waste and unnecessary machinery, construction, equipment, components, semi-finished products and other articles, provided that they are suitable for metallurgical or chemical processing or as utility material [§ 8 (e)], due to the metal content. Metal waste shall also be considered as scrap metal contained in heaps, slag, sludge, etc., provided that its use for the needs of the national economy in terms of costs incurred and the technical possibilities are economic; In this respect, the advisory activities of the national undertakings Kovokrit may be used in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.
(3) Metal waste, within the meaning of this Decree, is divided into non-industrial metal waste. Industrial metal waste is one that arises in socialist sector organisations, unless the state plan provides otherwise. Non-industrial metal waste is all other metal waste, in particular that of the population.
General provisions
(1) All organisations are obliged to capture and collect metal waste by species, store it separately in appropriate places, protect it from theft, pollution by other substances, confusion and other deterioration and offer it to the relevant ransom organisations. Also, citizens are obliged to collect metal waste, store it in appropriate places and offer it to the relevant ransom organisations (Sections 3 and 7).
(2) It is not permissible to export metallic waste on forage, weighing and dumps or otherwise cause losses of metallic waste, e.g. by not extracting metal waste from mines and quarries or by rolling it on construction and assembly, unless this is contrary to the safety of life and health or approved technical procedures. It is also not permissible to dispose of metallic waste (including commercial material) to organisations or persons other than those referred to in Sections 3 and 7.
(3) The metallic waste supplied shall not be heavily mechanically contaminated by substances which prevent the efficient recovery by conventional metallurgical processes (e.g. rubber, PVC, tar, oils, paints, chemicals); metal waste of steel and cast iron shall not be mechanically contaminated by blended non-ferrous metals, except as provided in the relevant national standard.
Industrial metal waste
Organisations for which metallic waste is generated shall submit it locally to the responsible national enterprise Kovoscrap. Exceptionally, the undertaking may consume or have metal waste generated by it processed elsewhere, provided that it is so determined by the state plan. This undertaking is only authorised to consume metallic waste in quantity, quality, for the purposes and under the conditions set out in the schedule of the State Plan.
Organisations supplying industrial metal waste are required to manage it in accordance with the rules of the Czechoslovak state standards (CSN) 1) and collect it in places accessible to transport and mechanical equipment or suitable for loading to railway wagons.
(1) An organisation for which industrial metal waste is generated shall take measures to prevent the mixing of individual species and the quality of metal waste both at the place of origin and in transport and storage. They consider mixing and other degradation of metal waste to be a violation of technological discipline in relation to their employees.
(2) Organisations which have metal waste treatment facilities are required to supply treated metal waste. Any spare capacity of these facilities shall be offered locally to the responsible national enterprise Kovoskrit and shall, according to its disposition, make adjustments to the metal waste supplied in return.
(3) Organisations are required to dispose of unnecessary and unfit machinery, structures, equipment, components, semi-finished products and other metal items without any economic justification, while complying with the rules on the disposal of essential assets and to surrender them in a disassembled state. The provisions on unassembled surrender do not apply to railway rolling stock.
(4) The supply of special metal waste shall take place in pre-defined cases under conditions agreed between the supplier organisations and the national undertakings Kovoscrap.
Organisations supplying industrial metal waste shall:
(a) immediately notify to the local competent national undertaking Kovoscrap the type and quantity of metal waste prepared for delivery, if the quantity of steel and cast iron waste and 3000 kg or non-ferrous metal waste reaches 100 kg in the case of carriage by car, or the quantity required to load the railway wagon, if the shipment is made in accordance with paragraph (c);
(b) to provide the national undertakings of Kovoscrap with their own means of mechanisation, in particular loading, to compensate for the associated costs and to enable them, by prior agreement, to carry out the metal waste even outside normal working hours;
(c) if they have their own train, allow the national undertakings to use the train to send scrap metal waste. Where metal waste is present in a quantity of at least 250 tonnes per year, they shall, at the request of the local competent undertaking, dispose and dispatch of metallic waste according to its disposition.
Non-industrial metal waste
(1) The collection of non-industrial metal waste is provided by the undertakings Collecting raw materials as from 1 January 1961 according to the needs of the national economy. To this end, such undertakings shall set up a collection or landfill of non-industrial metal waste, organise collection events, promote the collection of non-industrial metal waste and ensure that such waste does not go to waste at waste sites, etc. These undertakings ensure that metal waste is sorted according to the disposition of the national undertakings Kovoscrap.
(2) The undertakings collecting raw materials are obliged to supply metal waste exclusively to the national undertakings Kovoscrap.
(3) For the sake of a consistent procedure for the collection of metallic waste, the national undertakings Kovokrit and the undertakings Collecting raw materials conclude agreements in which both parties agree on the principles of the most economical synergies in the collection of non-industrial metal waste and other measures, in particular against the unauthorised transfer of industrial metal waste into non-industrial waste, on the reporting of metal waste ready for delivery, its timely and regular delivery and on the record of non-industrial metal waste revenue.
(4) Organisations and citizens are obliged to supply non-industrial metal waste to ransom organisations.
Obligations of national undertakings
(1) National undertakings Kovoscrap are obliged to:
(a) to purchase all metal waste;
(b) ensure the regular removal of metal waste within the agreed time limits, but not later than 30 days after receipt of the notification referred to in Article 6 (a); a longer period may be agreed in particular if it allows better use of the means of mechanisation;
(c) to classify, modify and supply metal waste according to Czechoslovak state standards;
(d) to cooperate with the Collective Raw Materials enterprises, national committees and National Front organisations in mobilising metal waste resources, organising collection and other actions and developing socialist competition aimed at increasing the level of metal waste management;
