Hazardous waste must be accumulated in containers that are compatible with the waste.
A simple way to ensure compatibility is to use the various types and sizes of containers provided by WM.

Requesting a Container

To request a container, submit a completed Hazardous Waste Pick-up and Empty Container Request Form (SLAC-I-800-0A08R-001). (Instructions for the form.) WM will deliver a hazardous waste accumulation container compatible with the type of waste you plan to generate. Each container will be pre-labeled with a SLAC waste ID number and information required by environmental laws.
