§ 25151 Hazardous Waste Regional Regulations

• •The rules for handling dangerous trash can be different in different parts of the state.
• •These rules can change based on things like how many people live there, the weather, and what kind of dangerous trash is made in that area.
• •The rules can also depend on what technology is available to treat the trash.

A small town in the desert and a big city near the coast both have to deal with old car batteries.

The small town might have simpler rules because there are fewer people and less trash, while the big city might have stricter rules because there are more people and more trash to handle.
