Read the first 7 Waste Management flashcards as text

  1. Under METRC regulations, what is the minimum weight threshold that typically triggers a required waste entry in the system?

    Answer: Any amount of cannabis waste, regardless of weight

    All cannabis waste must be recorded in METRC regardless of weight to maintain complete chain-of-custody.

  2. A licensee discovers that a batch of cannabis trim has developed mold and must be destroyed. Which METRC action should be taken FIRST?

    Answer: Create a waste entry in METRC before disposal begins

    A waste entry must be created in METRC prior to disposal so that regulators can verify and witness the destruction.

  3. When cannabis waste is mixed with non-cannabis waste to render it unusable, what must a METRC licensee record about the non-cannabis material?

    Answer: The type and approximate volume or weight of the adulterant used

    Licensees must document the type and approximate amount of material used to render cannabis waste unusable and unrecognizable.

  4. Which scenario represents an INCORRECT waste management practice under METRC compliance rules?

    Answer: Recording waste weight in METRC after the waste has already been disposed of

    Waste must be logged in METRC before disposal; post-disposal logging creates a gap in the chain of custody.

  5. A cannabis cultivator has plant waste from pruning operations. How should this material be classified in METRC?

    Answer: As a waste entry linked to the originating plant or package

    Plant trim and pruning waste must be logged as waste and linked to the originating plant records to maintain traceability.

  6. What happens in METRC when a waste package is finalized and disposed of?

    Answer: The package is closed and its tag is retired from active inventory

    Once disposal is confirmed, the METRC package is closed and the associated tag is retired, removing it from active inventory.

  7. A state inspector visits a facility and requests waste destruction records. Which combination of documentation should the licensee be prepared to provide?

    Answer: METRC waste entries, destruction logs signed by witnesses, and waste manifests if a hauler was used

    Complete waste compliance requires METRC records, signed destruction logs, and any applicable transport manifests as a complete package.
