Certified Waste-Derived Products

The Department has provided a mechanism by which waste-derived products can be certified for distribution and use. Once a waste-derived product is certified, it is no longer regulated as a solid waste until it is itself discarded. The procedures for certifying a waste-derived product are found in Env-Sw 1500 of the Solid Waste Rules.

Other waste-derived products that have gone through the certification process are listed below. For specifications and restrictions placed on the use of these materials, contact the Solid Waste Management Bureau at (603) 271-2925.
