Certificate of Destruction
A Certificate of Destruction (CD) can be issued only for those wastes disposed of under the Witnessed Destruction Procedure. This procedure requires the waste materials to be fed directly into the feed chute or hopper of the combustion unit, as soon as reasonably possible. The CD is sent to the Customer.
Disposal of Covanta 4Recovery-approved nonhazardous materials can be witnessed by:
- designated Customer personnel
- a contracted third-party security firm, on behalf of the Customer
(Note: Third party witnessing can be arranged directly with the security firm or coordinated through Covanta 4Recovery, L.P., a service billable directly through our Customer)
