Tips for Reducing Disposal Costs

The SWA recognizes that as a small business hazardous waste disposal costs can have a significant effect on the profitability of your business.  The SWA's CESQG Hazardous Waste Disposal Program can provide a cost effective and environmentally responsible solution to your hazardous waste disposal needs.  There are a number of things you, as a participant in this program, can do to reduce your disposal costs.

  • In the case of liquids, consolidate like wastes to eliminate partial containers because liquids are billed based on container volume.

  • Reuse materials as many times as possible.  For example, pour off the liquid phase of used thinners for reuse.

  • Some wastes can be treated on-site.  Check with local, state, and federal regulatory agencies for permitting requirements.
