Which generator category would typically generate a small but measurable amount of hazardous waste monthly?

• A. Large Quantity Generator (LQG)
• B. Small Quantity Generator (SQG)
• C. Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG)
• D. Moderate Quantity Generator (MQG)

Answer: (B)

Hazardous waste generator categories are defined by how much waste is produced in a calendar month. A category that represents a small but noticeable monthly output falls into the range between about 100 and 1,000 kilograms, which is labeled as Small Quantity Generator. This amount is clearly smaller than what a Large Quantity Generator would handle, but it's still substantial enough to require formal management and tracking, making it a “small” yet measurable monthly quantity. Very Small Quantity Generators are those generating less than 100 kg per month, which is even smaller but may be described as very small rather than simply small. The option that isn’t a standard category doesn’t fit the typical framework of monthly generation thresholds.
