What does a business which generates, stores, treats, or recycles hazardous waste need to do?
If a business generates or handles any amount of hazardous waste, it needs to comply with the California Hazardous Waste Control Law. Some common hazardous wastes are used automotive oils, used filters, used antifreeze, waste solvents, etc. Basic hazardous waste requirements include proper storage, labeling, disposal, and record keeping. A business needs to notify the Division of Environmental Health of the type and quantity of hazardous waste annually generated. Contact Environmental Health for guidance in dealing with your hazardous waste. Hazardous waste generators also need an EPA waste generator identification number. Call EPA at (800) 618-6942 or go to www.dtsc.ca.gov/IDManifest/ID_Numbers.cfm to get a waste generator identification number or to find out if your facility has previously been assigned an identification number.
