In addition, many businesses are simply storing their hazardous waste on site, waiting for a more cost effective way to get rid of it. The City of Santa Monica's Environmental Programs Division is offering a program to assist local businesses in disposing of their hazardous waste. If your Santa Monica business is a small quantity generator then this program will save you time and money. Although SQG's are required to manage hazardous waste according to all state and federal regulations, they have been granted special status to allow them to participate in the City's program. See fee table below.
Payment is due when waste is dropped-off at the facility.
A special variance may be issued through the City to allow a business to legally transport up to 27 gallons or 220 pounds of hazardous waste at one time to the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility. Businesses may request this variance when making their drop-off appointment. The contents of each container must be clearly labeled.
