About
Businesses are required to dispose of their hazardous waste in an environmentally sound way. To this end, the Weld County Household Hazardous Waste Program felt that it was important to provide a resource for the correct disposal of hazardous waste from businesses. The program can accept waste from Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESGQ) or it can provide a valuable resource to those businesses that are classified as Small Quantity Generators (SQG) or Large Quantity Generators (LQG).
The Weld County Business Hazardous Waste Disposal Program provides a safe and affordable disposal/recycling option for CESQGs in Weld County. This voluntary program is fee based and operated at the Weld County Household Hazardous Waste Facility in Greeley.
