Household hazardous waste: facilities: transportation and acceptance.
Under existing law, the Department of Toxic Substances Control generally regulates the management and handling of hazardous waste and hazardous materials. Existing law authorizes certain entities to operate household hazardous waste collection facilities, as defined, under permits issued by the department, and specifies conditions for the transportation of household hazardous waste. Existing law requires a person engaged in the transportation of hazardous waste to be registered with the department and to either have a legible copy of the paper manifest, provided by the generator, in their possession while transporting the hazardous waste or have an electronic manifest accessible during transportation. Existing law allows certain of those facilities to accept recyclable latex paint and oil-based paint, and other waste in specified amounts from a very small quantity generator (VSQG) of the waste, as defined, if the facility complies with certain requirements. A violation of the hazardous waste control laws is a crime.
