Waste Blanket Wash — Watch Out for Your Wash

* Conditionally Exempt Small-Quantity Generators (CESQGs)—generating 220 pounds or less per month or about one-half of a 55-gallon drum.

Conditionally exempt small-quantity generators (CESQGs) are usually subject to very minimal regulation, while small-quantity generators (SQGs) and large-quantity generators (LQGs) are subject to more hazardous waste management requirements. It is important to understand that—because states can be more stringent than USEPA—some states define generator status differently and have more stringent or different requirements for SQGs and CESQGs.
