Any nonhazardous surplus materials or items that are discards and would otherwise be destined for disposal are acceptable. These products can range from construction equipment, to firewood, to glass, to old furniture, etc. Some nonhazardous waste materials, such as tires, are governed by rules and regulations that restrict their transfer or transportation. Other materials, such as electronic discards, or e-waste, are subject to rapidly evolving rules.
