15 Point Summary: Containerized Hazardous Waste Regulations
Earlier this year, a company in Lowell, MA was fined nearly $20,000 by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection for improperly storing hazardous waste. One of the violations included improperly stacked containers of waste. (Having trouble viewing this email? View it in your browser).
We have compiled a list of regulatory requirements for containerized hazardous wastes for your use to hopefully prevent you from incurring similar fines. While these points serve as a good summary, it is important to remember to be vigilant on keeping up to date with both national and state regulations..
1. Containers used for holding hazardous waste must be in good condition. If the container becomes damaged, deteriorated or begins to leak, the wastes should be transferred to a container that is in good condition.
2. Containers used for holding hazardous waste must not be deteriorated by the waste. The container or liner must be compatible with the wastes to be stored.
