Non-hazardous Solid Waste and Recycling - Louisiana

Louisiana incorporates by reference the federal regulations for Non-Hazardous Solid Waste and Recycling; however, the state adds further requirements.

A summary of the additional requirements includes the following:

• All Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) and any other material regulated as Solid Waste must be removed from concrete slabs and concrete flatwork prior to demolition of the slab and/or flatwork for reuse or recycling. Non-ACM vinyl floor tile is regulated as solid waste and must also be removed from concrete slabs or concrete flatwork prior to any reuse or recycling. After all ACM and solid waste has been removed from the slab(s) and/or flatwork, this protocol shall be used to determine if it is clean enough to be reused or recycled.
