Federal, state, and local agencies have regulations on hazardous waste disposal that apply to any company whether small or large. Even if your volumes of waste are low, by law, your facility must follow hazardous waste disposal protocols. These regulations are complex. Environmental Marketing Services can help your facility navigate these laws and ensure you remain compliant to avoid costly fines and penalties.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has guidelines on classifying and properly handling hazardous waste materials. These guidelines apply from when the materials are generated until they are disposed of. These guidelines are important as they ensure safety to humans and the environment, and are therefore complex and strict. Using a professional hazardous waste disposal service, such as Environmental Marketing Service, can save you money and time, as well as ensure human health and the health of the environment.

What is Hazardous Waste?

Hazardous waste is a waste that has properties that make it a danger to human health and the environment. These waste materials can be generated from a number of sources from industrial manufacturing to batteries. Hazardous waste materials can also come in many forms including solids, sludges, gasses, and liquids.

The EPA created regulatory definitions and a process to identify specific substances with hazardous properties. The process’s objective is to determine how the materials will be handled in their disposal methods. The identification of hazardous materials can be complex, therefore having the guidance of a professional hazardous waste service will benefit your facility.

Hazardous Waste Treatment, Recycling, Storage, and Disposal Services

The EPA has developed hazardous waste regulations to balance the conservation of resources as well as ensure that human health and the environment are protected. There are hazardous waste materials that can be recycled effectively and safely, and others that can be treated and then disposed of in an incinerator or a landfill.

TSDFs (Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities) allow for the temporary storage and final treatment of hazardous wastes. These facilities typically manage large volumes of waste, with some that can present a higher degree of risk. Due to these risks, TSDFs are carefully regulated.

Recycling hazardous waste materials has a lot of benefits, including reducing the volume of waste needing disposal or treatment and the consumption of raw materials. Storage of these materials can present risks of spills, leaks, contamination of soil and drinking water, and fires if not handled properly.

The EPA encourages recycling, however, does have regulations in place for this process to protect the environment and human health. Whether the waste is classified as a solid or not is the first step in the identification process. When recycling, how the material is regulated, whether a solid or hazardous, depends on what type of material it is and what type of recycling will occur.
