State-Specific Hazardous Waste Generation Quantity Limits
The map shows the states that have been authorized for different monthly generation categories than the federal regulations specify. This chart is based purely on monthly generation quantity limits for hazardous waste (HW) and acute hazardous waste and does not take into account differences in state accumulation limits, generation rates for spill residues, or contaminated media.
Please check with your state for a complete list of requirements for hazardous waste generators. For links to the solid and hazardous waste state program websites visit our Solid and Hazardous Waste State Programs Page.
