Dangerous waste annual report

LQGs and MQGs must register for RCRAInfo

EPA has issued their final Third Rule, which integrates the e-Manifest system with exports and other manifest-related reports. Effective Jan. 22, 2025, large and medium quantity generators (LQGs and MQGs) must register for RCRAInfo to access the e-Manifest system to obtain their final signed manifest copies.

The dangerous waste annual report is a combination of required forms and other documents that summarize your dangerous waste activities in Washington.

If you have an active EPA/State Identification (ID) Number, then you must submit a dangerous waste annual report.

Reports are due March 1.
This is a federal requirement.
We cannot give extensions.

You may submit your report one of two ways:

Online via TurboWaste.
Paper reporting.
