Solid Waste Facilities Forms

2012 Annual Report is due no later than March 4, 2013, in accordance with 6 NYCRR Part 360.

Please note that several of the reports have changed this year, requesting information that is different or in a different format than previous years. DO NOT use previous years' forms! You are responsible for completing and submitting the appropriate forms for all of your permitted and registered solid waste management facilities.

For facilities at which multiple activities or operations occur (e.g., transfer stations, construction and demolition debris processing, recyclables handling & recovery, etc.) please complete the appropriate forms for each of these activities. If you have any questions about which forms to use, please contact the DEC Regional Office for the Region in which your facility is located or contact the Central Office at (518) 402-8678.

Submission of the completed form does not relieve you from any additional reporting responsibilities that are identified as special conditions in your 6 NYCRR Part 360 permit or that may be required for inactive or closed facilities, or other types of solid waste management facilities not referenced above.
