§ 19204 Animal Waste Collection Centers

Key Takeaways

  • •A 'collection center' is a place where dead animals, waste from meat packing, or other similar stuff is kept for a short time.
  • •These places are just for temporary storage before the stuff is moved to a licensed place that turns it into other products.
  • •The stuff collected here can be used to make things like pet food or other products after it's taken to the right place.

Example

A farm has some dead chickens that need to be disposed of.

The farm can take the dead chickens to a collection center. The collection center will keep them for a short time before sending them to a licensed place that can turn them into something useful, like pet food.
