Exhaust Filter / Diesel Particulate Filter Ash Handling and Disposal

Under federal, state, and/or local laws or regulations, diesel particulate filter ash may be classified as a hazardous waste. Hazardous wastes must be disposed of in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws or regulations governing hazardous waste disposal. Only a qualified service provider should remove ash from the DPF. Personal protective equipment and clothing, maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition, should be used when handling and cleaning a DPF.
