Box 806 Sacramento, California 95812 -0806 Ron Fraze, Chief Bakersfield City Fire Department 2101 H Street Bakersfield, California 93301 APPLIANCE RECYCLER CERTIFICATIONS Dear Mr. Fraze: Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor Enclosed is the approved application and certification for Sierra Recycling and Demolition, an appliance recycler in your jurisdiction. The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has reviewed and approved this company's application to be a Certified Appliance Recycler (CAR). After reviewing and approving a CAR application for conformance with section 25211.4 of the Heath and Safety Code, DTSC is required to transmit all application documents to the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) whose jurisdiction the business or person is located. The CUPA is required to inspect the CAR facility "as soon as is practicable" to determine whether the recycler is capable of properly removing and managing all Materials that Requires Special Handling (MRSH) from major appliances (Health & Saf. Code § 25211.4(d)). The statute requires CUPAs to consider the working condition of the equipment, the technical ability of the employees, and the facility's compliance with existing law (Health & Saf. Code § 25211 et seq., and Pub. Resources Code § 42160 et seq.). Please refer to the DTSC Fact Sheet entitled "AB 1447 (2007) Changes to the Appliance Recycling Program" (available on our CAR Web page) for a summary of existing law. In summary, an appliance recycler must be certified by DTSC prior to removing MRSH and discarding major appliances. MRSH may not be disposed of in the garbage or at a solid waste facility. The law also prohibits anyone from transporting, delivering, or selling discarded major appliances to a scrap recycling facility unless one of three conditions is met: Ron Fraze, Chief February 11, 2010 Page 2 1. the appliances have not been processed in a manner that could release, or prevent the removal of, MRSH and the receiving scrap metal facility has been certified by DTSC to remove the remaining MRSH; or 2. the appliances have been processed in a manner that could release, or prevent the removal of, MRSH, and the person provides written evidence DTSC Form 1430) to the scrap metal facility that all MRSH were removed from the appliances by a CAR prior to processing; or 3. the appliances were found with some or all of their MRSH already removed ( "orphaned" appliances) and the person transporting them presents the accepting scrap facility with valid photo identification and provides written certification (DTSC Form 1459) that he or she did not process or knowingly have someone else process the appliance. A facility that accepts orphaned appliances must provide a monthly report to the local CUPA and DTSC, detailing everyone who transported orphaned appliances to the facility and the total number of orphaned appliances received.
