The Division provides an outreach program for small businesses that generate less than 2,200 pounds of hazardous waste per month. This program has been successful in helping small businesses understand the requirements necessary for compliance with the hazardous waste management rules specific to small business.
Each year approximately 50 companies are visited using this program. A checklist is provided to assist the company with their hazardous waste management practices. Additionally, hazardous waste inspection checklists, factsheets, and other information to help your company ensure compliance with the regulations can be found in this page’s left menu. Hazardous waste staff are available to answer questions: (801) 536-0200.
In conjunction with the outreach program, Judy Moran (jmoran@utah.gov) (801) 536-0255 or Erika Greenwell (egreenwell@utah.gov) (801) 536-0226 will provide basic hazardous waste training sessions (about two hours) for businesses. They also provide presentations on hazardous waste management and pollution prevention for schools (all levels) and community groups.
On May 17th and 18th, 2022, the Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control hosted a two-day virtual training session for hazardous waste generators. The training was to familiarize hazardous waste generators with applicable rules in Titles R315 and R317 of the Utah Administrative Code.
