Solid Waste Management

Inspection Checklist

  • No loose trash scattered around the site.
  • Hazardous waste (paint, solvents) separated from general trash.
  • Dumpsters are not leaking.

Common Failures

  • Dumpsters overflowing.
  • Lids left open during rain events (creating 'dumpster juice').
  • Hazardous materials disposed of in general trash.
  • Windblown debris.

Maintenance & Corrections

  • 2. Replace leaking dumpsters immediately.
  • 3. Conduct daily site walks to pick up loose litter.
