Hazardous Waste Management Cost Worksheet (WS-1)

Refer to Your Waste Minimization Program: Conducting A Waste Reduction Assessment

Use this worksheet to determine current or estimate future hazardous waste management costs. Copy the form as many times as needed.

Describe all costs or savings in $/yr:

Offsite hazardous waste management costs: (recycling, treatment, incineration, disposal,etc.)			$___________/yr
Hazardous waste transportation costs:			$___________/yr
Regulatory fees, taxes, and permit costs: (consider all applicable agencies & permits, etc.)			$___________/yr
Operation & Maintenance (handling, storage, pretreatment, treatment, emergency response preparation, preventive maintenance costs, etc. related to this wastestream)

-- utilities, water, overhead, etc. $ /yr			$___________/yr
-- labor to handle, store, treat, and/or track waste $ /yr			$___________/yr
-- sampling/monitoring (if applicable) $ /yr			$___________/yr

*Paperwork: permits, reporting, recordkeeping (related to waste tracking, training, regulatory reports, etc.)			$___________/yr
*Liability: workers compensation/insurance premiums, potential cleanup, etc.		+	$___________/yr
Total Hazardous Waste Management Costs:		=	$___________/yr
If applicable, adjust the total cost by subtracting any revenue received from saleable byproducts of this wastestream:		-	$___________/yr
Adjusted Total Hazardous Waste Management Costs:		=	$___________/yr

*These costs may be more difficult to quantify. Use a "best-guess" if you must, or be consistent in leaving these items blank for all wastestreams evaluated.
