A participant whose approval has been revoked or has expired no longer
appears on the list of approved collectors and recyclers that is
presented through the CIWMB's website: Only participants whose approval status is intact appear on the list of approved collector and recyclers. Collectors who have had their approval revoked may not operate as a designated approved collector, regardless of the scope of any proof of designation they may possess. Collectors who have had their approval revoked also may not enter into the payment system source-anonymous CEW derived from load check activities or illegal disposal, including CEW left in an unauthorized manner at their own facilities. Participants whose approval has been revoked may not re-apply for approval for 180 days.
