Transportation of Wastes

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) regulates the transportation of the following wastes: Used Tires, Special Waste including Hazardous Waste, and Potentially Infectious Medical Waste (PIMW). There are no manifest requirements for waste tires, but the other programs require that all loads be accompanied by the appropriate manifest forms purchased from the IEPA.

Transporters with a current Alliance for Uniform HazMat Transportation credential may continue to use the Alliance credential UNTIL the next renewal date.  At renewal, or by September 1, 2012, all transporters operating in Illinois must obtain an Illinois Special Waste Hauler permit.

Transporting  Special waste requires:

  1. A special waste hauling permit
  2. A Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest  Adobe Acrobat Format (8.2KB, 1 page)  (PDF 30KB, 2 pages)
  3. To transport RCRA or TSCA waste, you must have notified as a transporter using form 8700-12 and obtained a USEPA ID number.

Transporting Potentially Infectious Medical Waste (PIMW) requires:

  1. A PIMW hauling permit
  2. A PIMW manifest  Adobe Acrobat Format (8.2KB, 1 page)   (PDF 17KB, 1 pages) purchased from the IEPA, and
