The Hazardous Waste Program protects human health and the environment from the hazards of mismanaged waste, helps reduce the amount of waste generated, and ensures that generated wastes are managed in an environmentally sound manner. Facilities that generate, transport, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste are regulated to ensure proper management of hazardous waste from the moment it is generated until its ultimate disposal or destruction.
If your facility generates Hazardous Waste, Universal Waste, or Used Oil in the District you must obtain an EPA Identification number through this program. Read more information on registering as a Hazardous Waste Generator.
