Waste Management
Expertise in Montana

MCF Environmental Services have been serving medical clinics, laboratories, education institutions and local businesses for more than 30 years, offering specialist waste collection and disposal services for hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams.

Montana’s Department of Environmental Quality is a major source of information regarding hazardous medical/healthcare and industrial waste generated by large or small businesses and facilities. As such, it is vital that waste generators take responsibility for obtaining permits and maintaining compliance for hazardous waste management throughout the state.

The state has filed their intention to adopt the Hazardous Waste Generator Improvement Rule of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in regard to hazardous waste practices and standards for generators and is currently gathering compliance assistance materials. Such details are often difficult to keep track of. Partnering with an experienced and reliable hazardous waste company can help you stay up-to-date on rule changes.

The Montana government provides a wealth of information for hazardous waste generators as well as manifest requirements, permits, and the state’s rules and regulations. The Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM) specify regulations for hazardous waste generators in the state, along with the regulations for transportation of hazardous waste, per the Department of Transportation (DOT).

Be aware that even Small Quality Generators (SQG) must obtain an EPA ID number and register with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (EPA Form 8700-12) and comply with ARM requirements. Failure to do so incurs enforcement actions and penalties.

In addition, all hazardous waste generators in the state are required to annually renew their generator registration and ID number (ARM 17.53.601).

No excuses are acceptable for non-compliance with hazardous medical or industrial waste in Montana. Finding the rules and understanding all the regulations regarding handling, storage, and transportation and disposal of hazardous or infectious waste can be confusing. Don’t guess!

Know how Montana defines infectious waste and types of hazardous waste. All employees should able to identify the characteristics of both. Know how to properly store sharps and understand approved disposal methods in the state.

MCF Environmental Services brings decades of experience and knowledge to the table when it comes to hazardous waste management processes. We can help ensure that your company, business, or hospital maintains compliance with Montana’s regulations, as well as those of the federal government. Both must be followed to reduce risk of penalties and damage to reputation.
