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
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.
