Foley : <br /> Enclosed is the approved application and certification for Sims Metal Management an <br /> appliance recycler in your jurisdiction . The Department of Toxic Substances Control <br /> ( DTSC ) has reviewed and approved this company' s application to be a Certified <br /> Appliance Recycler ( CAR ) . After reviewing and approving a CAR application for <br /> conformance with section 25211 . 4 of the Health and Safety Code , DTSC is required to <br /> transmit all application documents to the Certified Unified Program Agency ( CUPA ) in <br /> whose jurisdiction the business or person is located . <br /> The CUPA is required to inspect the CAR facility "as soon as is practicable" to <br /> determine whether the recycler is capable of properly removing and managing all <br /> Materials that Requires Special Handling ( MRSH ) from major appliances ( Health & Saf. <br /> Code § 25211 . 4 ( d ) ) . The statute requires CUPAs to consider the working condition of <br /> the equipment , the technical ability of the employees , the facility' s compliance with <br /> existing law ( Health & Saf. Code § 25211 et seq . , and Pub . Resources Code § 42160 <br /> et seq . ) . <br /> Please refer to the DTSC Fact Sheet entitled "AB 1447 ( 2007 ) Changes to the <br /> Appliance Recycling Program " ( available on our CAR Web page ) for a summary of the <br /> existing law . In summary , an appliance recycler must be certified by DTSC prior to <br /> removing MRSH and discarding major appliances . MRSH may not be disposed of in <br /> the garbage or at a solid waste facility . <br /> The law also prohibits anyone from transporting , delivering , or selling discarded major <br /> appliances to a scrap recycling facility unless one of three conditions are met : <br /> ® Printed on Recvcled Paoer <br />
