How to Become a
Certified Operator and the Application
Process
How to Become a Certified Operator
Once you determine
your category for certification, fill
out the appropriate certification
application and send it with other
required supporting documents to:
Division of
Recycling
Certification Section
801 K Street, MS 15-59
Sacramento, CA 95814-3533
Before mailing
your application, make sure you have
done the following:
-
Completed all items
on the application form;
-
Enclosed all
required supporting documents with the
applications; and
-
Provided the
appropriate original signature(s) and
initials on the application form.
The
Application Process
The Division has 15
working days to initially review your
application.
If your application
is found to be incomplete, you will be
sent a letter telling you what is needed
to complete your application.
If your application
is complete when received, or completed
after notification, the Division has an
additional 45 calendar days to further
review your application and to conduct
any on-site program reviews as
necessary. If you have never been
certified by the Division, an on-site
program review is required.
Upon approval of your
application, the Division will mail a
notification of approval along with your
certificate showing the certification
number and expiration date and an
operating manual. Operators of recycling
centers will later be sent a sign or
decal that identifies them to the public
as a certified operator.
For Recycling
Centers and Processors:
It is important to
consider this review schedule because
you cannot act as a certified operator
until your application is approved and
you have notified the Division in
writing of your operational date.
Once your application
is approved, you are required to begin
operating within 60 calendar days or the
certification number will become invalid
and you will have to reapply.
Application –
print a copy of the instructions and the
application for certification.
Or you can call (916)
324-8598 to have an application mailed
to you.
