2.15 Trash Disposal
The discharge of plastic trash or trash mixed with
plastic is illegal anywhere in the marine environ-
ment. U.S. Coast Guard regulations also restrict
the dumping of other forms of garbage. Regional,
state and local restrictions on garbage discharges
also may apply.
Responsible boaters store refuse in bags and
dispose of it properly on shore. You should make
sure your passengers are aware of the local waste
laws and the trash management procedure on
your boat. Refer to the placard mounted on your
boat for more specic information regarding solid
waste disposal.
Federal law requires that vessels of 26 feet or
longer must display in a prominent location, a
durable placard at least 4 by 9 inches notifying
the crew and passengers of the discharge restric-
tions (Marpol Treaty). A label for this purpose has
been shipped with the boat and is attached to the
port side of the cockpit. It is the boat owner’s
responsibility to make sure this placard remains
mounted and legible in accordance with the law.
2.16 Yacht Certication Plate
Coast Guard rules require boats less than 20 feet
(6 meters) to display a gross weight and person-
capacity plate provided by the manufacturer. The
person/load capacity is determined by the US
Coast Guard.
Boat manufacturers in the National Marine Manu-
facturers Association (NMMA) program will dis-
play a gross weight and person-capacity plate on
boats up to 26 feet (7.9 meters). Larger boats,
including your boat, will display a Yacht Certica-
tion plate indicating compliance with the NMMA
and U.S. Coast Guard requirements instead of a
capacity plate.
The yacht certication plate is usually located near
the helm in clear view of the operator.
