Legal
Terms of use
These are the terms for using this site, its guides and the Empty Check. The site gives general guidance only. It is not legal advice, and the generator of a waste is responsible for its own determination.
General guidance, not legal advice
The guides, tables and the Empty Check summarise public rules, chiefly 40 CFR 261.7, and show the arithmetic for common tote sizes. They are not legal advice. A rule may change after the date a page was last reviewed, and a state may add to it.
Check with your hauler and with DOEE, MDE or Virginia DEQ before a tote ships. The three rulebooks says who each one is.
The Empty Check
The Empty Check assumes the tote was emptied by ordinary pumping or draining and that the bottle floor is close to the 48 by 40 inch footprint. It cannot confirm what a tote held and it cannot make a waste determination. A verdict on the ticket is a reading of the figures you typed. It is not a certification.
A tote that is not empty is hazardous waste. We take no request for it.
Requests, prices and areas
A request is a request. It does not commit us to a pickup, a purchase or a sale, and it does not commit you. We have set no price, minimum quantity or turnaround time, and the site names none. Nobody has confirmed pickups in Loudoun or Prince William counties; sending a request from either is welcome and carries no promise.
Content and changes
The text, drawings and tools on this site are ours. Link to them as you like. Do not present them as yours. We may change the site and these terms at any time, and the date on a page shows when its sources were last reviewed.
Questions about these terms go to info@dcibcrecycling.com. The privacy policy says what happens to the details you send.
