Does your facility generate any of the wastes listed below?

For information on managing these wastes, click on the links in the table below.

NOTE: press ALT then F4 to close any pop-up windows - all links found in the table below.

For each of these wastes that you generate, fill in the following information on the Waste Inventory Sheet:

For anti-freeze, photographic film and lead paint, under "waste type" check both "solid" and "hazardous", because these materials may be regulated either as non-hazardous solid wastes or as hazardous wastes.

• If anti-freeze and photographic film are properly managed for recycling, they are exempt from hazardous waste regulation.
• Used paint is not generally recyclable and requires laboratory testing to determine whether it is a hazardous waste based on the concentration of lead in the paint.

For asbestos under "waste type" check "solid" because this material is regulated as a solid waste. Asbestos is not generally recyclable and must be disposed in a landfill.

For anti-freeze and photographic film, under "comment" write "recycle or hazardous waste landfill".

For lead paint, under "comment" write "solid waste landfill or out of state hazardous waste landfill - lab testing".

For asbestos, under "comment" write "solid waste landfill - special requirements" because certain types of asbestos require special packaging and shipping documents prior to transport for disposal.
