Permitted Transporter Information

NOTICE: IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RI TRANSPORTERS OF HAZARDOUS, MEDICAL, OR SEPTAGE WASTE

This year the Department required RI Waste Transporters to apply for transporter permits using a different format. As the permit is processed, paper permits will be emailed. Hardcopies of the paper permits will no longer be sent by mail. Decals will be mailed by post shortly afterwards.

Giving these inconsistencies from a normal permitting year, the Department is granting transporters a two-week extension until July 1st to submit their applications and a one-month extension before the current permits expire on July 31, 2021. As of August 1, 2021, if you have your paper permits but have not yet received your decals, as has been the past directive, you may still legally transport waste on the roads and waters of RI with paper permits in your vehicles, until the decals arrive in the mail.
