We find that inelastic collisional processes in Bose-Einstein condensates induce local variations of the mean-field interparticle interaction and are accompanied by the creation/annihilation of elementary excitation. The physical picture is demonstrated for the case of three body recombination in a trapped condensate. For a high trap barrier the production of high energy trapped single particle excitations results in a strong increase of the loss rate of atoms from the condensate.
