Hazardous waste disposal in Gainesville, FL

Greer collects in Gainesville, FL, dispatched from the Tampa, FL office on its own permits and its own equipment. There is no facility in Gainesville, FL itself — Greer runs two offices, and Florida is covered from one of them rather than from a depot in every city that has a page.

Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) administers the authorized hazardous waste program for Florida, over the federal baseline rather than instead of it. So a waste generated in Gainesville is classified the same way it would be anywhere in the country, and the requirements around storing, moving and reporting it are Florida's.

An unidentified container in Gainesville, FL is a smaller problem this week than it is next year, so the first thing is to leave it alone: do not move it, and do not open it if anything has crystallized around the cap. Tell the Tampa, FL office where on the Gainesville, FL site it came from and what the process beside it does, and identification is arranged before collection rather than after.

No — for a site in Gainesville, FL, describing the process that makes the waste and roughly how much of it there is gets you a price. A Certified Hazardous Materials Manager profiles it from that, which is the work you are buying, and guessing a code yourself only transfers the liability for it back to you, in Florida exactly as anywhere else.
