    Reporting and Fee Collection Division

    The Reporting and Fee Collection (RFC) Division supports multiple programs within the Bureau of Waste Management by overseeing the following: 

     

    Municipal waste landfills and resource recovery facilities are required to submit quarterly reports postmarked or received by the Department by the 20th day of the month following the quarter ending the last day of March, June, September and December.

    Please visit Report Quarterly Hazardous Waste Management Fees for more information on requirements, instructions and access to forms.

    Hazardous waste transporters and treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities are required to submit quarterly reports postmarked or received by the Department by the 20th day of the month following the quarter ending the last day of March, June, September and December.

    More information can be found at Quarterly HW Management Fees.

    Each year, RFC collects, reviews and processes biennial reports. Biennial reports are required to be submitted by residual waste and hazardous waste facilities that meet reporting criteria.

    Residual Waste Biennial Report

    The Residual Waste Biennial report is administered by the DEP. Residual waste facilities that generate more than 13 tons during a reporting cycle must submit a residual waste biennial report for the preceding even numbered year by March 1st of every odd numbered year. More information including instructions and reporting forms can be found at Submit a Residual Waste Biennial Report.

    Hazardous Waste Biennial Report

    The Environmental Protection Agency requires biennial reports from hazardous waste generators and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities by March 1st of an even numbered year following the preceding odd numbered year. Visit Hazardous Waste Biennial Report for more information and forms.

    The Waste Transportation Safety Program oversees authorizations and compliance of waste transportation vehicles (trucks and truck tractors with a registered gross vehicle weight greater than 17,000 lbs., and trailers with a registered gross vehicle weight greater than 10,000 lbs.) transporting municipal or residual waste to waste processing or disposal facilities in Pennsylvania. For more information visit Apply for the Municipal and Residual Waste Transportation Safety Program.

    Hazardous waste manifests are now available on the RCRAInfo Electronic manifest (eManifest) system. To access eManifest, a user must submit a permissions request on RCRAInfo and be approved by the Site Manager. See RCRAInfo Registration and Training below for more information.

    Attention Large Quantity and Small Quantity Generators of Hazardous Waste
