Garbage is regulated by APHIS when the garbage is on or removed from a means of conveyance, if the means of conveyance has been in any port outside the United States and Canada within the previous two-year period or to any port in Hawaii or any United States territory or possession in the last one- year period. Garbage regulated by APHIS is hereafter known as “regulated garbage.”

6.1.2.1 Garbage, trash or other material not regulated by APHIS that is or has been commingled with regulated garbage is also regulated garbage.

6.1.2.2 Regulated garbage includes but is not limited to food scraps, table refuse, galley refuse, food wrappers or packaging materials and other waste materials from stores, food preparation areas, passengers’ or crews’ quarters, dining rooms or any other areas on means of conveyance.
