Hazardous Waste Disposal
Hazardous wastes and materials can be found in large and small businesses
alike. If mismanaged, even small quantities can have major impacts on
worker health and safety, property value, business liability, and the

waste and provides guidance in determining how and where to safely dispose of
hazardous waste and materials. Contact the program at 360-867-2664 for
guidance on how to best manage your hazardous wastes.
