How do I access and submit reports in TurboWaste?

To access TurboWaste, you will need a Secure Access Washington (SAW) account, then add TurboWaste as a service from within SAW.

Secure Access Washington (SAW) is a hub for many Washington state online services. If you’ve ever logged in, use your account. Otherwise, sign up for a new account.

Click the "Sign Up" button.
Enter your own contact information for this step (not the facility).
Wait for an email confirmation, then proceed to Step 2.

For more detailed information, read the steps outlined in Setting up your TurboWaste Account.

Please note:

If you have any issues with your SAW account, contact SAW. We do not have access to your SAW account.
After two failed password attempts, the account will lock. If this happens, contact SAW.
If you have not logged into a SAW account for 24 months, your account will expire.

Log into your SAW account, then:

Click "My Secure Services."
Click "Add A New Service."
Click "I would like to browse a list of services."
Click "Department of Ecology."
Scroll to "TurboWaste" and click "Apply."

Note: Do not click "I have been given a code." TurboWaste no longer uses a PIN.

Wait for an approval email. It may take 3 to 5 business days.

Once TurboWaste is added as a service, you can:

Submit your ESA (if you don't have one on file), then
Fill out and submit your report.

Once you have access to TurboWaste (see steps 1 and 2 above), in order to submit your reports, an authorized representative for the site must complete and submit the Electronic Signature Account (ESA) form.

NOTE: If you previously had an ESA on file, your account is still active.

Log into your SAW account.
Go to TurboWaste.
Fill out and complete the Electronic Signature Account form.
Download and mail the ESA form. No photocopies, emailed or faxed copies can be accepted.

You will receive an email that your ESA form has been processed and approved.
NOTE: This can take up to 10 days.

Why do I have to submit an Electronic Signature Account (ESA)?

In order to submit your reports, an authorized representative for the site must complete and submit the Electronic Signature Account (ESA) form.

The ESA adds the level of security that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) CROMERR (Cross Media Electronic Reporting Rule) requires for electronic submissions. All users that submit reports through TurboWaste must have an ESA on file to meet EPA's electronic submissions criteria.

NOTE: If you previously had an ESA on file, your account is still active.
