How does your Waste Management Plan measure up? Use our checklist below to score your plan and find gaps that may be discovered by an EPA audit.

If you are a Small Quantity Generator (SQG) or Conditionally Exempt SQG (will be Very Small Quantity Generator with regulation updates), your requirements are fewer.
