Transporters of hazardous waste, including waste oil, explosives, gases, flammable and combustible liquids, flammable solids, oxiders and organic peroxides, poisons, radioactive materials, corrosives and infectious waste - must obtain a Hazardous Waste Transporter License. Missouri regulations require all transporters obtain the license to help ensure environmental protection through proper disposal of waste. The Missouri Department of Transportation issues the one-year license. Even though MoDOT issues the license, the request is approved by both MoDOT and the Department of Natural Resources. MoDOT notifies the department once they issue the hazardous waste transporter license and the list of approved transporters is available on the department’s Hazardous Waste and Infectious Waste Transporters website.
Length of Permit
The license is valid for one year from the date of the issuance.
