Hazardous waste disposal in Tampa, FL

Tampa is shaped by a port, phosphate and chemical handling, and a large healthcare sector, and what that means for waste is decided by what those processes generate and by the Florida program the site operates under — not by the city line on a map.

The rule in Florida

Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)

Waste generated in Tampa is regulated by FDEP, which administers the authorized hazardous waste program for Florida over the federal baseline. What that adds for a Tampa site, and where Florida differs from the state next door, is set out on the state page.

Asked from Tampa

The four things generators around Tampa, FL ask before anything else, answered from the rules rather than from a brochure.

Greer collects in Tampa, FL, dispatched from the Tampa, FL office on its own permits and its own equipment. There is no facility in Tampa, 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 Tampa 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 Tampa, 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 Tampa, 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 Tampa, 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.

Elsewhere in Florida

Collection across Florida is not limited to the places with their own page. These are simply the ones near Tampa, FL with enough demand to be worth writing about.
