is Hazardous Waste

If you generate a hazardous waste(s), your company must manage these wastes according to State dangerous waste regulations. Go to "Requirements for Generators of Hazardous Waste".

Hazardous Waste
Generators Requirements

How to manage, accumulate, and get rid of hazardous waste. Requirements and assistance on container management, labeling, secondary containment, record keeping, training and contingency plans, etc.

Small Quantity
Generator Requirements

This means you generate and/or accumulate a small amount (NEVER generate more than 220 pounds per month and NEVER accumulate more than 2,200 pounds on site) of hazardous waste. You are exempt from most regulations, but not all. This tells you what regulations you MUST still follow.

Hazardous Waste ID #
and Annual Reporting

If you are a Large Quantity or Medium Quantity Generator of hazardous waste, you MUST have a hazardous waste identification number. If you are a Small Quantity Generator, the company that removes hazardous waste from your facility MAY require you to have a hazardous waste identification number.

If you have a hazardous waste identification number, you MUST file an annual hazardous waste report with the Department of Ecology.
