Thank you for your interest in proper disposal of hazardous waste from your business. The Regional Collection Center (RCC) will only accept hazardous waste from a business determined to be a Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG). A VSQG is a business that generates no more than 220 pounds of hazardous waste per month and stores no more than 2,200 pounds on site at any one time and less than 2.2 pounds of acutely hazardous waste on site at any time. Check your businesses generator status at: http://www.epa.gov/enviro/facts/rcrainfo/search.html
If you have questions about what is hazardous waste or you have trouble determining your hazardous waste generator status, the staff at the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency are available to help answer your questions.
The facility is open by appointment only, so please call to arrange an appointment time. Appointment times are typically available Wednesdays between 7:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.
