Business Owners Guide to Hazardous Waste:
Businesses generate waste every day—but not all waste is the same. Some materials are regulated as hazardous waste, meaning they must be handled, stored, transported, and disposed of under strict federal and state laws. Failing to classify waste correctly can lead to heavy fines, shutdowns, environmental harm, and safety risks for workers.
This guide breaks down exactly what counts as hazardous waste, using plain language and industry-relevant examples. Whether you produce a few gallons a month or manage multiple waste streams across facilities, proper classification is essential for compliance.

Although this was a non-hazardous spill, there was action to be taken: See our process on site for this chemical spill remediation. Some non-hazardous chemicals are only permitted in small, diluted quantities. Some materials, while not technically “hazardous,” can harm the biological processes at the treatment plant. Consult your city’s or wastewater treatment plant’s guidelines for specific rules in case of a spill, or call HazChem, a spill expert 630-458-1910
