2012 NM Recycling
and Composting Facility Operator Certification Courses
The NMRC and the New Mexico State Environment Department: Solid
Waste Bureau will host two recycling courses and two composting
courses in 2012. Our maximum class size is 35 students so please remember to register as early as possible to
be assured a seat in the course.
Payment arrangements must be made before attending the
course either by actual payment or by PO number. If a
municipality or business has an outstanding due payment,
they can not send any registrants to courses until that past
due invoice has been paid. There will be a $25
cancellation fee is you do not notify us before the late
registration date.

To obtain NMED Solid Waste Facility Operator Certification,
applicants must complete a course, score at least 70% on the
certification exam offered at the end of each course, and
have at least one year of experience operating the type of
facility for which certification is sought.
State Solid Waste Rules require that public and private solid waste facilities have
certified operators. These courses enable operators to
become certified! Call Connie Pasteris at
