How do I obtain a temporary DEP generator identification number so that I may arrange for transport of hazardous waste?
Only small and large quantity generators (SQGs and LQGs) of hazardous waste and LQGs of waste oil may use temporary generator identification numbers until MassDEP issues them permanent numbers. Very small quantity generators (VSQGs) and SQGs of waste oil must register their hazardous waste activities with DEP as soon as they know they need to ship hazardous waste to an off-site facility. This registration requires SQGs of waste oil and VSQGs of all types of hazardous waste to assign themselves a permanent identification number; they are never allowed to use temporary numbers. For instructions on self-assignment and use of temporary numbers, please see “Self-Assigning a Hazardous Waste Generator Identification Number” (Web page).
