Waste Management
Expertise in Nebraska
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.
Nebraska’s solid waste management guidelines apply to infectious or hazardous waste, regardless of where it comes from or how much of it is generated. How do those guidelines apply to your business? From healthcare facilities to businesses large and small, and industrial companies - all must abide by laws that protect human health and the environment.
Who makes the rules in Nebraska?
The Department of Environment and Energy (DEE) provides guidance on infectious waste disposal processes, but knowing where to look and how to interpret regulations is vital for waste generators that produce hazardous waste, pharmaceuticals, or medical waste.
Knowing where to look for criteria of waste streams and their management is important for compliance. Nebraska waste generators are responsible (and required) to determine if their waste is hazardous in nature (Title 128, Chapter 4, §002).
Partnering with a reputable and knowledgeable waste management company with years of experience is essential in understanding requirements for a DEQ/EPA Identification Number and when such documents must be filed. It is your responsibility as a waste generator to notify the state of regulated waste activity.
Nebraska also follows the regulations of the Department of Transportation (DOT) regarding EPA hazardous waste numbers, hazard class determination, and quantity of waste shipped off-site. (Title 128, Chapter 4, §005.01A5)
Be aware that hazardous waste generators who accumulate more than 2.2 pounds of acute hazardous waste in a single month are regulated as a Large Quantity Generator (LQG).
According to the DEE, infectious wastes must be rendered non-infectious by approved methods in the state, which include incineration and/or autoclaving prior to disposal in a solid waste disposal area.
Nebraska’s hazardous waste regulations follow the guidelines of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of the Environmental Protection Agency for proper hazardous waste management processes.
Compliance is vital
Don’t take chances. Permits and authorizations, licenses and certification, and laws and regulations must be followed to reduce risk of non-compliance that can cost tens of thousands of dollars in fines. Turn to the experts at MCF Environmental Services for help navigating often complicated regulations of federal and state governments to remain compliant with Nebraska’s Department of Environment and Energy.
