Hazardous Waste Management in the US
This dataset provides a comprehensive, facility-level view of hazardous waste generation and management across the United States. Built to support strategic planning and environmental compliance, it enables waste management companies, regulators, and sustainability strategists to evaluate waste infrastructure, monitor operational performance, and drive circular economy initiatives.
Dataset Highlights
Facility Coverage:
- Tracks 350,000+ hazardous waste generators and 121 hazardous waste disposal management companies across the U.S., covering a wide range of facility types:
- Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs)
- Transfer Stations
- Industrial Generators (Chemical, Pharma, Manufacturing)
- Waste Collection & Transportation Firms
Key Data Fields:
- Locational Data: Facility name, address, city, state, ZIP code, latitude, longitude
- Waste Volume Data: Annual hazardous and non-hazardous waste volumes (2021–2024)
- Operational Metrics: Shipment frequency, manifest counts, due-for-shipment flags, supplier relationships, wallet share estimates
- Compliance & Classification: EPA Generator IDs, NAICS codes, material acceptance types, compliance history
Advanced Analytics
- Regulatory Monitoring: Identify non-compliant generators and shipment delays
- Market Growth rate: Benchmark major players like Clean Harbors, Veolia, and Republic Services
- Infrastructure Planning: Evaluate capacity and performance across treatment and disposal facilities
- Risk Flagging: Detect shipment gaps and regulatory risk factors
- Sustainable Hazardous Waste Solutions: Assess material recovery potential and waste minimization opportunities
Use Cases
- Strategic planning for hazardous waste service providers
- Regulatory oversight and policy enforcement
- GIS-based facility mapping and logistics analysis
- ESG reporting and sustainability benchmarking
- Investor intelligence on waste sector trends and infrastructure performance
Data Sources & Collection Methodology
- Sourced from verified federal, state, and local government systems, including:
- EPA Hazardous Waste Manifest System
- State DEQ databases and compliance platforms
- Public environmental disclosures and industry reports
Each facility entry is enriched with operational, locational, and compliance attributes. Spatial coordinates (latitude/longitude) support integration with GIS tools for infrastructure mapping and geospatial analysis.
Data Quality & Processing
Delivery State: Processed and ready for immediate use in environmental analytics, compliance dashboards, and GIS platforms.
- Processing Workflow Includes:
- Geospatial Indexing: Accurate mapping using latitude and longitude (~99% records geocoded)
- Data Enrichment: Classification by waste type, NAICS industry, and facility function
- Data Standardization: Harmonized formats across fields such as units of measure, addresses, and manifest details
- Quality Scoring: Records validated via EPA/state databases, with ~95% accuracy on waste volumes and shipment data
- Record Linking: Unified generator and facility profiles created through cross-referenced datasets
