Topic - Hazardous Waste
Your small business may want to consider establishing a satellite accumulation site.
Satellite accumulation allows you to accumulate small amounts (not more than 55 gallons per satellite site) of hazardous waste in the production area of your business. The main reasons for satellite accumulation are:
1. So you can conveniently accumulate waste in the area it is generated.
2. So you can accumulate waste over a longer period of time without having to ship within the accumulation period (90 or 180 days) and avoid shipping a partial drum of waste.
Once the container is full (55 gallons), you need to put the date on
the barrel and then move it into the accumulation area. This gives you
an advantage by allowing you to accumulate full containers. The 90 or
180 day accumulation period starts when the container is full.
