If your facility is a Small Quantity Generator (SQG) of hazardous waste, mark your calendar — September 1, 2025 is the deadline for your quadrennial re-notification to the EPA.

This is not your regular hazardous waste report. Instead, it is a required update to your EPA Site Identification Form (Form 8700-12) under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to keep EPA records accurate.

Who Must File
You are an SQG if your facility generates:

  • More than 100 kg (220 lbs) but less than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) of non-acute hazardous waste per month, and

  • Less than 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of acute hazardous waste per month.

How to File

  • Preferred: File electronically via MyRCRAID (available in many states).

  • Or submit Form 8700-12 by paper if required by your state.

  • Applies only in states that have adopted the Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule.

Other Generator Categories

  • Large Quantity Generators (LQGs) have biennial reporting requirements due March 1 of even-numbered years.

  • Very Small Quantity Generators (VSQGs) are generally not required to re-notify.

⚠️ Reminder: Failure to meet the deadline may result in enforcement action under RCRA.

Stay compliant — verify your generator status, update your information, and submit your form before September 1, 2025.
