A TSDF facility is a Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility that manages hazardous waste through treatment, temporary storage, or final disposal, following strict environmental regulations.

TSDF facilities typically handle hazardous waste, including industrial chemicals, contaminated soils, medical waste, and other regulated materials requiring special treatment or disposal.

Treatment methods vary and may include chemical neutralization, incineration, stabilization, or physical separation to reduce toxicity and prepare the waste for safe disposal.

Treatment reduces the hazard of waste, storage involves temporarily holding waste until it can be treated or disposed of, and disposal is the final placement of waste in a regulated facility.

TSDF facilities must comply with federal, state, and local environmental regulations, including the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and other hazardous waste laws.

You can check compliance by reviewing the facility's permits, inspection records, and certifications issued by environmental regulatory agencies.

TSDF facilities typically serve businesses and industrial clients. However, some facilities may accept household hazardous waste during designated collection events.

Manifests are detailed tracking documents required by the EPA to monitor the transportation and proper disposal of hazardous waste from its point of origin to a TSDF facility.

After disposal, hazardous waste is securely contained in regulated facilities, such as landfills or storage vaults, designed to prevent contamination and protect the environment.

You can locate a TSDF facility through online waste management directories, environmental agency resources, or by consulting local waste disposal services.
