APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATION

Information necessary to gain a better understanding of the Institute’s approach and to apply for certification of a C&D recycling facility is available for download from this page.  The Institute recommends facilities review the Application for Certification to develop an understanding of what they might expect of an evaluation and a general understanding of the program.  The Application for Certification is an MS Word document and is intended to be used for direct entries by the facility and then submitted electronically to RCI.
