No workshops: Ecology is not holding the Dangerous Waste Management for Generators workshops, due to budget and staffing constraints. We may revisit this issue if more resources become available.

Help available on Web: In the meantime, you can find answers to many of your questions about dangerous waste on Ecology’s Web site, at: www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/hwtr/business.html

Help available from Regional Office staff: You can also call the Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction staff at your local Ecology Regional Office.

Bellevue: (425) 649-7000

Yakima: (509) 575-2490

Specialists can help: Compliance Inspectors can help with questions about your responsibilities as a dangerous waste generator. The Toxics Reduction staff can help with questions about reducing and recycling dangerous waste.
