Recycling Facilities

A recycling facility means a solid waste facility that is owned, operated or used for storing, treating or processing of recyclable solid waste and handles waste that has a potential for significant adverse effect on the environment.

Once rules are adopted, best management practices will apply to the following types of recycling facilities:

• Recycling facilities located off-site that are used for collecting recyclable material, that have a storage capacity of 180 cubic yards or less and where recyclable material is stored for less than 90 days
• Recycling facilities located on-site that are used solely for collecting and storing recyclable material for less than 180 days
• Closed loop recycling facilities that are located at the site of waste generation

Once rules are adopted, recycling facilities located off-site where recyclable material is stored for longer than 90 days and recycling facilities located on-site where material is stored for longer than 180 days are considered solid waste storage facilities. Recycling facilities that have a storage capacity greater than 180 cubic yards are subject to self-certification.

All recycling facilities will be required to submit a notice ADEQ.
