Page 1 of 2 d)A"Recycling;Center" means a person or business entity that meets the requirements of this subdivision.A recycling center shall not be subject to the requirements of Articles 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.35 of this Chapter. (1)A recycling center shall only receive material that has been separated for reuse prior to receipt. (2)The residual amount of solid waste in the separated for reuse material shall be less than 10% of the amount of separated for reuse material received by weight. (A)The residual amount is calculated by measuring the outgoing tonnage after separated for reuse materials have been removed. (B)The residual amount is calculated on a monthly basis based on the number of operating days. (3)The amount of putrescible wastes in the separated for reuse material shall be less than 1% of the amount of separated for reuse material received by weight, and the putrescible wastes in the separated for reuse material shall not cause a nuisance, as determined by the EA. (A)The amount of putrescible wastes is calculated in percent as the weight of putrescible wastes divided by the total incoming weight of separated for reuse material. (B)The amount of putrescible wastes is calculated on a monthly basis based on the number of operating days. (4)The only separation that may occur at the recycling center is the sorting of materials that have been separated for reuse prior to receipt. (5)The recycling center may include an adjustment in the calculation to include the weight of water in the residual,when the use of water is essential to the sorting or processing of the material, provided that such an adjustment is also made in the weight of materials received for processing. (6)The following materials shall not be included in calculating residual as set forth in subdivision (d)(2) of this section, if the recycling activities are separated from the material handling activities noted below by a defined physical barrier or where the activities are otherwise separated in a manner that the EA determines will keep the materials from being commingled: (A) materials received at an on-site Buy Back Center; (B) materials received at an on-site Drop-off Center; (C)cannery waste; (D)construction and demolition materials; (E) nonhazardous contaminated soil; (F) grease-trap pumpings; (G) nonhazardous asbestos; (H) nonhazardous ash; (1) compost and compost feedstock; (J) sewage sludge; (K)tires. (7) If the EA has information that material that is being received is not separated for reuse or source separated,that the residual is 10% or more of the total per month, or that the amount of putrescible wastes is 1%or more of the total per month, the burden of proof shall be on the owner or operator to demonstrate otherwise. (A)A business that accepts loads of material that are not separated for reuse or source separated does not qualify as a recycling center. (B) If the EA has reason to believe that a business is accepting material that is not separated for reuse or source separated due to averaging or combining of those loads with other loads of separated for http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Laws/Regulations/Titlel4/ch3a6.htm 3/12/2013
