PIN registration
The Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act requires persons who generate, collect, transport or receive hazardous waste to obtain a Personal Identification Number (PIN) by registering with the Director. There is no cost to apply for a PIN.
Personal Identification Numbers are not required for persons who generate, collect, transport or receive hazardous recyclables.
Personal Identification Numbers are usually issued within two business days of the Director receiving a completed package, after which the applicant will receive a signed copy back.

Hazardous waste brokers may complete the PIN registration form(s) on behalf of a generator; however, the PIN must be issued to and signed by the generator.
