Hazardous Waste Disposal

Hazardous Material/Waste Turn-In

DLA Disposition Services manages the disposal of hazardous property for Department of Defense (DoD) activities. Hazardous Materials (HM) are handled with the same priorities as other property: reutilization within DoD, transfer to other federal agencies, donation to qualified organizations, or sale to the public. Hazardous Wastes (HW) are handled through a worldwide network of HW management and disposal contracts.  All HW services are provided on a reimbursable basis where the generator pays the unit price for management and disposal services identified by the Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) ordered.

Disposition Services accepts accountability of HM/HW as “receipt-in-place” by means of a Receipt-In Place (RIP) agreement or a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in accordance with DoDM 4160.21 Vol1. The following guidance provides information to assist the generator with preparing documentation required for DLA Disposition Services to take accountability. Procedures for turning in hazardous property are commodity based and complex. For detailed guidance, contact your DLA Disposition Services Environmental Protection Specialist on the Site Locator

Hazardous Waste Turn-In Services

Since 2005, the DoDM 4160.21 Vol. 2 has mandated the usage of “automated and electronic DTID transfer documentation” for normal, day-to-day turn-in of HW.

GENCOMM, DLA’s data transfer system for automated turn-in of HW has been decommissioned. Automated turn-in of HW from customer systems to DLA Disposition Services system (Hazardous Material Management System – Hazardous Waste Disposal (HMMS-HWD)) will now utilize Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS).

Primary Turn-in Method:

Hazardous Waste Contract Development

DLA Disposition Services Environmental Support Branch meets with our military customers to develop a comprehensive, uniquely tailored requirement for hazardous waste disposal and support services. Disposal services include disposing of hazardous, non-hazardous, State-regulated, and Universal Wastes. Some examples of available services include industrial cleaning, laboratory analysis, hazardous waste characterization, hazardous waste profile sheet completion, lab/loose packing, and expedited removals..

Hazardous Waste Disposal Contract Model

Profile-Based CLINs

Profile-Based CLINs (PBCs) are the standard disposal CLINs utilized on DLA’s HW Disposal contracts supporting DoD and DHS activities across the U.S. and its territories. PBCs are intended to give the contracting community sufficient information to accurately formulate bids based upon necessary disposal technologies and required treatments. Available disposal technologies might include stabilization and landfill, microencapsulation, fuels blending, recycling, destructive incineration, etc. For containerized waste, the pricing structure is based primarily by container size, with some wastes being billed by the pound, gallon, or ‘each,’ depending on the industry standard unit of measure for disposal.
