How do I become certified as a rural region recycler or neighborhood drop-off program?
The Division of Recycling has adopted emergency regulations that implement these new categories of recycling centers. The emergency regulations were adopted in January 2000 and clarify the requirements needed to be certified as a neighborhood drop-off program or a rural region recycler. In order to become a certified rural region recycler or neighborhood drop-off program, your recycling operation must be located in a designated rural region. If you are interested in knowing if you are in a rural region, call 1-800-RECYCLE and ask for the Convenience Zone Section. You may also call 1-800-RECYCLE and ask for the Industry Services Branch for information on certifying as a rural region recycler or neighborhood drop-off program.
