Industrial Solid Waste
Industrial solid waste is defined as waste that is generated by businesses from an industrial or manufacturing process or waste generated from non-manufacturing activities that are managed as a separate waste stream. Businesses that utilize manufacturing or industrial processes, or that are service or commercial establishments, are likely producing industrial solid waste. This is a special classification of non-hazardous, non-household waste that requires, by state law, special evaluation to determine the proper disposal method.
Generators of industrial solid waste are responsible for evaluating the waste and demonstrating that it is non-hazardous, either by documentation of the waste's characteristics and/or by laboratory testing. Common types of industrial solid waste from businesses are:
- Empty Chemical Containers
