How do I maintain materials and AVV codes for disposal?
How to define the materials for disposal containers in Bausicht, including the AVV code from the German waste catalogue ordinance.
To document waste in a legally sound way, you define the materials that occur on your construction site in Bausicht – each with the matching AVV code from the German waste catalogue ordinance. These materials are then available for every waste container.
Quick answer
| Step | Description |

| 3 | Enter Name, AVV code and Description |
| 4 | Click Save |
Step 1: Open “Settings → Disposal”
The page has two sections:
- Materials for disposal containers – the waste types including their AVV code
- Signature templates – text templates for signatures during disposal
Step 2: Click “New material”
Step 3: Enter the material and AVV code
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name (required) | Label of the waste type, for example „Paper and cardboard packaging“ |
| AVV code | The six-digit code from the German waste catalogue ordinance, for example „15 01 01“ |
| Description | Optional explanation for your team |
Click Save. The material is immediately available in the list and for your waste containers.
Note: The AVV code is the waste code according to the German waste catalogue ordinance (Abfallverzeichnis-Verordnung). Maintaining it consistently means the disposal records of your construction site can be assigned unambiguously later on.
