Use secondary containment for containers of liquid waste. Keep volumes of accumulated waste low by properly recycling and routinely disposing of waste. Ecology does not expect every small quantity generator to accumulate the maximum amount of dangerous waste. Each business will need to find the accumulation quantity and time frame that works best for them. See Questions and Answers section for information on the lawsuit challenging these changes.
Many generators recycle some wastes off-site.
Here is some important information to help you get every recycling credit you earn. Recycling credits are credits that can be used as a discount to the amount of waste you annually report. The amount of waste annually reported determines if you are subject to the requirements of pollution prevention planning and fees. You can only get recycling credits when waste is sent off-site for recycling. You must attach all documentation of the credits you are claiming for that calendar year of the Annual Report.
