Disposal Resources

Dangerous Waste

Businesses that generate any amount of dangerous waste are responsible for this waste from cradle to grave. In Washington state, the Dangerous Waste Regulations determine what dangerous waste is, and how businesses should properly handle and dispose of it. 

Most businesses choose to hire a hazardous waste service provider.

Small quantity generators can also take their waste to the Snohomish County Household Waste Facility in Everett. Businesses do need to make an appointment by calling 425-388-6050.
