Q Where can I find a lab that will test my material? What companies give safety training? Who cleans out sumps in my area? Are there consultants I can work with on my waste issues?
A Look in the Hazardous Waste Service Directory for the answers to these and other needs. Go to: http://apps.ecy.wa.gov/hwsd/default.htm. From "Alternative Solvents" to "Waste Ink Management," this searchable directory has hundreds of listings for services you might need to manage your dangerous waste. The page also has links to moderate risk waste contacts in Washington. There's even a link to a list of other agencies and organizations in the Pacific Northwest.
Keep in mind, the service directory is just a listing of companies. It does not constitute a recommendation by the Department of Ecology or any other regulatory agency. No matter who you deal with, proper handling and disposal of waste is always the responsibility of the generator.
