In Summary for Disposing of Hazardous Waste in New York City

Disposing of hazardous waste in New York City involves strict adherence to local, state, and federal regulations to ensure the protection of public health and the environment. Here are the general steps and guidelines for disposing of hazardous waste in New York City:

1. First Identify The Hazardous Waste: Determine whether the waste you are generating is hazardous. Hazardous waste is typically defined by its characteristics (e.g., ignitability, pH, reactivity, toxicity) or by specific listings provided by regulatory authorities.

2. Minimize Your Waste Generation: Implement waste minimization practices to reduce the amount of hazardous waste generated. This includes source reduction, recycling, and reuse whenever possible.

3. Waste Characterization: Conduct waste characterization to identify and classify hazardous waste accurately. This may involve testing or analysis to determine the waste’s hazardous properties.

4. Waste Storage: Store hazardous waste in a manner that prevents leaks, spills, and unauthorized access. Use appropriate containers, labels, and storage facilities to comply with regulations.

5. Transportation: Arrange for transportation of hazardous waste by a licensed hazardous waste transporter such as ADCO who will help ensure that your waste is properly packaged, labeled, and documented for transport.

6. Contact Treatment or Disposal Facility: Contact ADCO to handle the specific type of hazardous waste you are generating.

7. Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate records of hazardous waste generation, transportation, and disposal activities for at least 7 years. Report this information as required by regulatory agencies.

8. Land Disposal Restrictions: Be aware of land disposal restrictions, which may apply to certain types of hazardous waste. Some wastes may require treatment before disposal in a landfill. Our staff can assist you with determining those needs.

9. Hazardous Waste Manifest: ADCO will complete a hazardous waste manifest for each shipment of hazardous waste. This document tracks the waste from the you (The Generator) to the treatment or disposal facility (TSDF).

10. Compliance with Regulations: Ensure that you comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including those set forth by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

11. Household Hazardous Wastes: If you are a household or small quantity generator, take advantage of New York City’s Household Special Waste (HSW) drop-off locations and events for the proper disposal of common household hazardous waste, such as paints, chemicals, and electronics. You may call 311 to inquire about how to dispose of your household hazardous waste.

12. Professional Assistance: Given the complexities of hazardous waste management, consider consulting with the environmental professionals or waste management experts at ADCO to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements.
