Over 40 cities and counties have worked with Ecology to establish plans for addressing small quantities of hazardous wastes from businesses and households. These public employees must successfully complete the same training and examination process as landfill and incinerator operators. Inspectors must also receive training relevant to inspection procedures. As an alternative, Ecology is exploring the idea of making training materials available for self instruction. The feasibility of this concept and possible cost of instructional materials have not yet been determined.
Certification includes operator training courses and a written examination.

A Waste-Tire Carrier License is required when hauling more than five tires to a recycler or storage site. Whenever a facility is permitted at the local level, a Waste-Tire Storage Site Owner License is also required. Decisions regarding these permits are made by Ecology based on compliance with minimum standards established to ensure the safe and proper storage, control, recovery, and recycling of tires.
