What are the requirements for garbage?

• A. Receiving APHIS regulated waste with 24 hours notice
• B. Receiving any waste within 2 hours
• C. No notice required
• D. Receiving APHIS regulated waste within 72 hours

Answer: (A)

Receiving APHIS regulated waste with 24 hours notice is required. This advance notice lets the receiving facility confirm it is permitted to accept APHIS-regulated waste, arrange for proper containment and disposal, and complete the necessary documentation under APHIS rules. It supports biosecurity and regulatory compliance whenever waste could carry disease risks. Shorter notice, no notice, or a longer-than-necessary window do not meet the standard requirement.
