The Department of Toxic Substances Control <br /> (DISC) 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 Heath 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, and the facility's compliance with <br /> existing law (Health & Saf. Code § 25211 et seq., and Pub.
