Federal and state regulations are phasing out fluorinated AFFF due to serious environmental and health risks. If your site uses legacy fire suppression foam, it must be decommissioned or transitioned to a compliant alternative by 2026—or even earlier in some states.

Republic Services is your proven partner in safe, compliant, and complete AFFF decommissioning.

Why Act Now?

• Upcoming Deadlines:
  • DOD bans fluorinated AFFF by Oct 2024
  • Waivers end 2026
  • FAA & state bans already in effect in many areas
• PFAS Hazard Designation: PFOA & PFOS are now federally recognized hazardous substances under new EPA rules.
• Strict Disposal Regulations: Improper handling leads to legal liability and environmental harm.
