Hazardous wastes are materials with hazardous properties that are no longer suitable for their original use. By law, they require special documentation, handling, storage, shipping, and treatment prior to reuse, recycling or disposal. Amounts shipped serve as a proxy for amounts generated. Liquids shipped increased over last year mainly due to increased transfers of transformer oil going from our transformer shop to the oil management department. Solids shipped decreased over last year due to a decrease in the amount of PCB waste going for disposal. Yearly variations in amounts shipped are also due to on-site accumulations and non-routine shipping by facilities. Amounts shown may under-report total amounts due to some direct shipping by individual facilities that were not tallied.
