Special Waste Approval for Generators

Per guidance provided by Mr. Bassam.Faleh@TN.gov 615 532 0780: Unless the generator is using a permitted waste hauler, such as Stericycle, that properly treats the waste and ensures its final disposition in accordance with TN requirements, then the following regulations apply:

  • Persons who generate and wish to process or dispose of a special waste must make application to the Commissioner for waste evaluation. Also such persons who generate and wish to process or dispose of sludges, bulky wastes, pesticide wastes, medical wastes…must make application to the Commissioner for waste evaluation unless the Commissioner determines such is not necessary.
