I have a location, and I deal with
e-waste.
I hired a engineer as a consultant who was able to consult for the installation, layout and design and submitted the paperwork for California EPA, Federal EPA, etc. You cannot submit for the licensing yourself, unless you are an engineer, so if you decide to have a location you may want to look into a consultant who is an engineer, whom is authorized to submit for specific licensing.
Also there are other programs you can apply for, like the e-steward program, or to become a full fledged recycler. If you do have a location you can become a Ca state authorized tecycler and then are able to recover what you pay for some recycled goods, like cans that have CRV. You can take in the cans, pay the CRV value, recover that money from the State, then melt your cans, pour into bars and receive much more for the metal than otherwise you would. Doesn't cost much to set up, and you can make very good money doing so.

I know that most guys dont and do things under the radar but, im trying to start a legit business and want to make sure that all my ducks are in row. The Application online asks for a facility location. My business licence doesnt permit for having a facility and my business is strictly mobile. The hotline for the DTSC is an answering machine and they rarely call you back to answer questions. Here is the link where you give your notification:
Electronic Hazardous Waste (E-Waste)
If anyone has giving their notification and can share their experience this would be very helpful for me thanks.
