AMOUNTS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE? <br />If so, you may have a problem - it's expensive and difficult to dispose of chemicals, such as paint, motor oil, solvents, and acids. Legally, <br />they don't belong in the trash or down the drain; they are hazardous waste, and they must be specially managed and documented. <br />The Cities and County of San Joaquin have an affordable solution that may work for you. <br />WHAT'S A "SQPEEGEE" (CESQG)? <br />San Joaquin County sponsors a <br />Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity <br />Generator Program (CESQG) that offers <br />qualifying businesses an affordable solution <br />for hazardous waste management. To <br />qualify as a CESQG (or "SQUEEGEE"), your <br />business must generate per month: <br />Less than 220 pounds or approximately <br />27 gallons (liquid) of hazardous waste. <br />Less than 2.2 pounds or approximately <br />1 quart (liquid) of certain original <br />unused products (i.e., acutely hazardous <br />wastes). <br />Less than 110 pounds or approximately <br />13 gallons (liquid) of perchloroethylene. <br />dl <br />MATERIALS SAFETY <br />DATA SHEETS (MSDS) <br />ARE OFTEN YOUR BEST <br />SOURCE OF INFORMATION <br />REGARDING THE <br />PRODUCTS YOU USE. <br />MSDS SHEETS ARE <br />AVAILABLE FROM PRODUCT <br />SUPPLIERS. <br />WHAT'S IN IT FOR <br />MY BUSINESS? <br />What's in it for your business? Plenty! <br />A low-cost way to safely dispose of <br />hazardous materials. <br />Documentation that your business is <br />properly managing its hazardous <br />waste. <br />Free consulting from certified <br />hazardous waste specialists and <br />qualified personnel. <br />Another level of protection - under <br />"cradle to grave" laws, your business <br />is responsible for wastes it generates. <br />You may be held liable long after <br />you've paid someone else to haul <br />waste away. The County assumes <br />generator responsibility for waste <br />accepted at the Household Hazardous <br />Waste Facility. Once accepted, you <br />can be assured that the material will <br />be disposed of properly. <br />IT'S EASY TO SIGN UP! <br />Call (800) 207-8222 to see if your business <br />qualifies for the CESQG Program.
