Safely Disposing of Cannabis Waste

What Needs to be Disposed of?  

If you operate a cannabis farm, distribution warehouse, or medical marijuana facility, you know how important it is to follow local rules and regulations when disposing of cannabis waste. If you don’t follow these rules and regulations, you can be fined, jailed, and/or have your business temporarily or permanently closed. We provide legal cannabis incinerators in Hutchinson, MN. 

The law requires the safe disposal of cannabis waste, which is any medical marijuana waste that is rendered unusable. This may be the stems and leaves that weren’t used in manufacturing, or recalled, returned, contaminated or any expired cannabis or bi-products. Your cannabis waste must be completely rendered unrecognizable and safely destroyed through thermal heat treatment or melting, shredding, grinding, or tearing. The cannabis waste can then be safely put into municipal waste systems.

How to Dispose of Cannabis Waste 

You can safely dispose of cannabis waste through heat, grinding or shredding, or tearing. The most effective and reliable method of disposal is by using a cannabis waste incinerator. An incinerator will completely destroy the cannabis waste and bi-product according to local laws and turn it into harmless black ash in just a matter of minutes. This is one of the most efficient destruction methods that allows it to be safely disposed of.

Buying a Medical Marijuana Waste Incinerator

Incineration occurs inside the burn chamber, and a second burn chamber safely destroys any additional materials. You can adjust the temperature as needed to render your cannabis waste to ash. Consult your local government agency for permitting code requirements. Firelake can assist with your permitting application and can help you find the right incinerator for your needs.
