DARP status exempts municipal solid waste loads from comprehensive inspections for "waste ban" materials at solid waste transfer and disposal facilities:

• Paper
  
• Glass, metal and plastic containers
  
• Leaves and yard waste 

Waste loads from DARP communities are inspected for the presence of white goods, lead-acid batteries, cathode ray tubes (CRTs), and whole tires.
