Your CAR certificate, <br />which is valid for three years from the approval date, is enclosed. <br />After reviewing and approving a CAR application for conformance with section 25211.4 <br />N the Health and Safety Code, DTSC is required to transmit all application documents <br />to the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) in whose jurisdiction your business is <br />located. The CUPA is required to inspect your facility "as soon as is practicable" to <br />determine whether you are capable of properly removing and managing all Materials <br />that Require Special Handling (MRSH) from major appliances (Health & Saf. Code <br />§ 25211 A(d)). The statute requires the CUPA to consider, among other things, the <br />working condition of your equipment, the technical ability of your employees, and your <br />facility's compliance with existing law (Health & Saf. Code § 25211 et seq., and Pub. <br />Resources Code § 42160 et seq.). <br />For additional information on the Certified Appliance Recycling Program and a summary <br />of existing law, please visit our website at <br />https://dtsc.ca.gov/certified-appliance-recycler-car-program/ <br />In summary, an appliance recycler must be cert <br />ified by DTSC prior to removing MRSH <br />and discarding major appliances. MRSH may not be disposed of in the garbage or at a <br />solid waste facility. <br />The law also prohibits anyone from transport <br />ing, delivering, or selling discarded major <br />appliances to a scrap recycling facility unless one of three conditions are met: <br />® Printed on Recycled Paper <br />
