Manifests protect you by proving chain-of-custody and authorized disposal.
Key points
- Maintain monthly waste generation log by waste code and storage location.
- Reconcile dispatch quantities with recycler/TSDF receipts.
- Keep vendor authorizations and validity dates on file.
- Use a single numbering system for manifests and invoices.
- Include photos and storage inspections in your internal audit trail.
A 30-minute monthly reconciliation prevents months of back-and-forth during inspection.
