Code § 25211.4(d)). The statute requires the CUPA to consider, among other things, the working condition of your equipment, the technical ability of your employees, and your facility's compliance with existing law (Health & Saf. Code § 25211 et seq., and Pub. Resources Code § 42160 et seq.). For additional information on the Certified Appliance Recycling Program and a summary of existing law, please visit our website at http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/Mercury/Certified Appliance Recycler.cfm In summary, an appliance recycler must be certified by DTSC prior to removing MRSH and discarding major appliances.
