<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If there are hazardous waste controlled substances going into the SmartSink, then there are WI DNR/EPA regulatory issues. The resulting waste cartridges, which I believe Cactus takes as a reverse distributor,
would likely be considered hazardous waste and Cactus would need both hazardous materials endorsements on their trucks, but the waste would have to go to an EPA permitted facility.
