Transportation of Hazardous Waste: |
|
Proper Transport of
Hazardous Waste: State and federal law prohibits the
transport of over 15 gallons or 125 pounds of
hazardous waste at any one time. A special
variance may be issued through the City to allow
a business to legally transport between 15 and up to
27 gallons or 220 pounds of hazardous waste at one
time to the Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Facility. No variance is necessary for shipments of
up to 15 gallons. Businesses may request this
variance when making their drop-off appointment. |
|
When
transporting hazardous waste to the collection
facility, all materials should be in an original
container if possible and covered with a secure
fitting lid. The contents of each container must be
clearly labeled. |
