1 Small Business Hazardous Waste Collection Event FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2016 Information and Application What s Happening? The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is sponsoring a collection event for conditionally exempt generators of small quantities of hazardous waste. This event provides an opportunity for small businesses to properly and conveniently dispose of their hazardous waste. State environmental regulations require ALL Oregon companies producing hazardous wastes to manage and dispose of them properly. Disposal options for conditionally exempt generators are often viewed by companies as complicated and costly. This program is designed to allow companies to dispose of hazardous waste in a simpler and less costly manner. To participate, generators will be required to pay the total cost of disposing their wastes and billing arrangements can be made. What Kinds of Businesses Can Participate? Conditionally exempt generators (CEGs) of hazardous waste are businesses, industries, and institutions producing less than 220 pounds of hazardous waste per month during each of the last 12 months. Generators are allowed to dispose of up to 2,200 pounds of hazardous waste at this collection event (about four drums). In order to dispose of waste at this event, companies are required to apply for and receive prior approval from Clean Harbors Environmental Services for specific types and quantities of waste. Applications must be received by Clean Harbors no later than Apr. 8, See page 3 for the application form. Businesses producing more than 220 pounds of hazardous waste each month must manage their hazardous wastes following stricter regulations and are NOT eligible to participate in this event. Generators of larger quantities of waste can contact Oregon DEQ at (503) for more information. What Hazardous Wastes Could My Business Have?

The description should include the chemical and trade name, how you use the material, physical state (i.e., liquid, solid, sludge, gas), chemical characteristics (e.g., flammable/ignitable), and chemical constituents and percentages from the label or material safety data sheet (MSDS). For pesticides (e.g., herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, etc.), please include the EPA registration number if available, trade name and percent concentration. When listing waste quantities, be accurate as possible. DO NOT include waste you do not want to dispose of at the collection event. Also, please avoid mixing your wastes together. 3. Quantity: List the quantity of waste you want to dispose of at the collection event. As a rule, list liquids in gallons and solids and sludges in pounds. 4. Cost per Pound or Gallon of Waste Disposed: Per pound pricing is for loose pack or lab pack items and per gallon pricing is for non lab pack items (over 5 gallons in size). Refer to waste disposal costs below. For wastes not listed on the Inventory Price Sheet, please call Clean Harbors at for a cost estimate. 5. Disposal Charge: Quantity of waste multiplied by the cost per pound or gallon will determine the disposal charge for each waste.

7 TRANSPORT TIPS No safety precautions and protective measures can be suggested that totally eliminate risks. However, here are some suggestions that may assist you in minimizing exposure as you work with waste. IF YOU HAVE A SPILL: CALL OIL-TANK FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE HANDLING WASTE MATERIAL: 1. Inspect containers. If, upon inspection, you have reason to suspect that the container will tear or rupture when moved, do not attempt to move or load the container for transport. Come to the collection site without it and we will provide assistance. 2. Wear the protective clothing and protective equipment (goggles, gloves, respirator, etc.) described on product labels when handling pesticides. 3. At a minimum, wear a long sleeved shirt buttoned at the wrist, a pair of chemical-resistant gloves, preferably a chemically resistant apron, rubber boots, goggles and a hat. 4. Have spill control materials available. For example, a 10-pound bag of commercially available safety absorbent, a shovel and a container for spilled material collected with the absorbent and contaminated soil may be useful in control and cleanup of a spill involving a small amount of material. Bring any spilled materials with you to the collection site for disposal. FOR TRANSPORTING WASTE MATERIALS: 1. Inspect all containers to see that they are securely packaged. Only transport containers that are securely closed. 2. Line the storage area of the transport vehicle with plastic sheeting to contain any spillage that might occur and therefore simplify cleanup and decontamination. 3. Assure all labels are securely attached. This is important for disposal of these materials. 4. Arrange containers in your vehicle so that they are braced to prevent shifting which may result in container damage and/or leakage. 5. All containers should be kept dry during transport. Loads in open vehicles such as pick-up trucks should be covered in the event of rainfall. 6. Do not transport waste in a manner that will allow fumes from those wastes to enter the passenger compartment of the transportation vehicle. DRIVE CAREFULLY. You are responsible for any spillage, damage, subsequent cleanup and restoration that might occur while you are transporting the wastes, whether the accident is your fault or other s. The State and its contractor are not responsible for any spillage that occurs before the contractor at the collection site accepts the waste.
