Abstract
The Small Generator Demonstration Project is an experimental effort to decrease the amount of hazardous waste being mishandled and improperly disposed by small businesses in the South Tacoma area of Tacoma, WA. This one year project is centered around a program of education stressing voluntary compliance to increase recycling and decrease improper waste disposal. The project is designed to make the alternative waste handling practices presented to the business community easy, inexpensive, and permanent by identifying available disposal resources such as local recyclers. 116 small businesses ranging from the automotive to the wood products industry were visited and notified of safe methods of handling and disposing of their hazardous wastes. This information resulted in 40% of the businesses with waste handling problems changing to proper waste disposal.
