Hazardous Waste Notification Program
A waste is any solid, liquid or contained gaseous material that your business no longer uses and must either recycle, store, or dispose. A waste is considered hazardous if it causes injury, illness, or death; or pollutes the land, air, or water.
What are the Federal requirements for hazardous waste notification?
Does your business ever discharge into the sewer anything other than human waste or food material? This includes such items as:
- Solvents
- Paints
- Cleaning chemicals
- Landscaping/yard care chemicals
- Photographic chemicals
- Ignitable materials
- Corrosive materials
- Reactive chemicals
- Toxic materials
- Anything considered hazardous
If you can answer “no” to all of the above, you do not have a reporting requirement for hazardous waste.
If your answer is “yes”, or if you are unsure, you may have a reporting requirement. Please click on the links below for more information. If you have questions, call our hotline at (503) 681-4466.
