ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
This facility is permitted to receive Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) generated within Wake County, or in accord with an agreement, from other counties. Types of HHW accepted at this facility include propane tanks,
florescent light bulbs, batteries, yard and garden products, paints and solvents, household cleaning products, and various other miscellaneous HHW. Please note that this permit shall expire on May 27, 2025. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 13B .0201(g), no later than December 27, 2024, the owner or operator must submit a request to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section (“Section”) for permit review and must update pertinent facility plans including, but not limited to, the facility operation and waste screening plans. 1. Wake County contracts with Ecoflo to manage the operations of the HHW facility.
2. The facility was adequately secured by fencing and locking gates. Signs were posted at the entrance to the facility stating the hours of operation and other pertinent information. 3. The facility permit, operations plan, and training records were available on-site and were reviewed with Wake County and Ecoflo staff. 4. At the time of this inspection, the facility was relatively clean and well organized. 5. The LCMs collection boxes were stored open and horizontally laying down on a pallet sitting on top of a metal frame, making them susceptible to spills. It is recommended that these boxes are stored vertically within a frame or container as they are being filled. 6. During this inspection, daily logs of received materials, waste characterization records, and manifests were observed to be up to date and organized. 7. Digital photographs were taken during this inspection. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
