§ 25157 Hazardous Waste On-Site Treatment

Key Takeaways

  • •Super dangerous waste might need to be treated where it's made before moving it, if moving it is unsafe.
  • •You don’t have to get rid of the waste where it’s made, as long as moving it follows all the rules.
  • •The rules are there to make sure dangerous waste is moved safely.

Example

A factory makes really dangerous chemicals that could explode if moved.

The factory might have to treat the chemicals first to make them safer before trucking them away. But if they can move them safely without treating them, that’s okay too.
