Our mission is to provide the highest level of safety, and to protect public health and the environment from toxic harm. Option 3 — Disposal using a registered hazardous waste transporter Generally, hazardous wastes must be transported by a registered hazardous waste transporter using a uniform hazardous waste manifest, under a generator identification number (commonly referred to as an EPA ID number), and taken to an authorized treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF). Generators must have an EPA ID Number specific to the address at which the hazardous waste is generated. A temporary 90 -day EPA ID number should be acquired for each site address by calling 1 -800 -61 -TOXIC (1-800-618-6942). See the EPA ID and Manifest page of DTSC's Web site for more information, or the DTSC's Regulatory Assistance Officer's Web page for hazardous waste generators information. Option 3a — Hire a registered hazardous waste transporter DTSC maintains a list of registered hazardous waste transporters that will haul hazardous waste for the generator to a permitted facility. The transporter will require an EPA ID number and a uniform hazardous waste manifest signed by the generator, or his representative, at the point of generation. Option 3b — Register as a hazardous waste transporter Persons seeking to transport hazardous waste themselves may opt to become registered hazardous waste transporters. This is done by submitting a Transporter Registration Application to DTSC. Public liability coverage is required for registration. Businesses registering as hazardous waste transporters may also need to register with the California Highway Patrol (see Trucks Transporting Hazardous Materials, CHP 800c) as hazardous materials transporters, depending on the amount and type of hazardous waste they transport, and must follow all U.S. Department of Transportation and DTSC requirements for packaging, marking, shipping, and placarding. DTSC's Regulatory Assistance Officers created a Web page just for hazardous waste transporters which contains more information.

Code Regs., title 22, § 66266.81(a)(1)). • Used oil and oil filters that are not contaminated with hazardous waste may be taken to a certified used oil collection center (usually auto parts store or local household hazardous waste collection center). Generators may self transport, without the use of a 3 State of California
