ECAR Fact Sheet for New York
Hazardous Wastes
Wastes
are classified as "hazardous" if they have certain dangerous properties
(for instance, if they are flammable, corrosive, or toxic).
Wastes can also be automatically classified as hazardous if they
are produced in certain manufacturing processes.
If you are managing the waste as
hazardous, here are some of the main rules:
- You can only store the waste for
a limited time on your site before sending it to an approved hazardous
waste facility. (The time limit will depend on how much
hazardous waste you generate.)
- You have to use a licensed waste
hauler to transport the waste off your site.
- You have to keep a record (called
a "shipping manifest") of the shipment for a specified period
of time.
