Transportation of Hazardous Waste

The transportation of hazardous waste — as well as waste not recognized by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) — is subject to special requirements within Connecticut. Any carrier transporting hazardous waste within or throughout Connecticut must have a permit from DEEP (except a generator transporting 1,000 kilograms or less of their own waste to a permitted facility).
