Your best strategy is to reduce or eliminate waste, thereby changing your generator category. Here are some simple suggestions: ?Measure and control use of materials. This can be as simple as setting a limit on the number of rags to be used on each job or as complex as instituting a pharmacy system for materials distribution.
?Inspect incoming materials. Defective goods are more easily returned upon delivery than at a later time.
?Use a “first-in, first-out” inventory method to eliminate outdated materials.
?Keep lids closed on anything that can evaporate.
?Recover, recycle, and reuse waste on site.
?Participate in a waste exchange (link www.wastexchange.org) A Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) generates no more than 100 KG (about half a 55 gallon drum) of waste in any one month. As a CESQG, you are required to ensure proper disposal of hazardous waste and keep documentation of the disposal.
