Considerations for a waste survey
  • EPA requires a company to make a waste determination for all waste streams.

Perform a waste survey by taking a tour of the entire facility (inside and out) to note each and every waste stream. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires a company to make a waste determination for all waste streams.

Common waste streams to consider as the waste survey is conducted include:

  • Manufacturing processes
  • Drains and discontinued lines
  • Offices and maintenance areas, electronics, batteries, lamps, thermostats
  • Aerosol cans and can puncturing units
  • Construction and demolition waste
  • Fleet maintenance areas (antifreeze, degreasers, corrosive baths, used oil)
  • Laboratories
  • Art rooms
  • Rags or wipes
  • Paints and solvents
  • Cleaning activities (power washing areas, housekeeping, and carpet cleaning)
  • Yard/Garden care (pesticides, herbicides, degreasers, used oil)
  • Maintenance room
