• Identify your hazardous wastes and keep track of how much you generate or accumulate on the premises each month.
• Manage your waste in a way that does not pose a threat to human health or the environment.
• Ensure that your hazardous wastes are treated, recycled,
or disposed of on the premises, or off-site (Checklist Fact Sheet
8) at a facility approved in your Local Moderate Risk Waste Plan,
such as a:
- permitted hazardous waste facility,
- municipal or industrial solid waste facility, with local health
department approval, or
- legitimate recycler.
• Call your county's solid waste or planning department for details.
• If you have obtained a generator RCRA Site Identification Number (Checklist Fact Sheet 2), file an annual report with Ecology (Checklist Fact Sheet 3).
• If you don't follow these four steps, you become subject to the requirements of a "fully" regulated generator (see Regulated Generator Responsibilities)
