HB 5570 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

To exempt common carriers and contract carriers engaged in the business of transporting solid waste for commercial or industrial customers to disposal or recycling locations.

HB 5570 proposes to exempt transportation companies (common or contract carriers) that move processed recycled materials for commercial or industrial businesses from certain state regulations. Specifically, it would remove requirements for vehicles transporting these materials from business customers to recycling facilities. The exemption applies only to "processed source-separated recycled materials" and does not eliminate safety or insurance rules that carriers must still follow. This bill directly affects waste haulers and businesses generating recyclable materials who use contracted transportation services.
