What is the accumulation time rule for a CEG?

• A. 270 days
• B. Unlimited time until reaching 1000 kg
• C. 180 days
• D. 90 days

Answer: (B)

For hazardous waste, generator categories drive how long you can hold waste on-site. A Conditionally Exempt Generator has no fixed on-site time limit like 90, 180, or 270 days. Instead, you can accumulate hazardous waste indefinitely as long as the total amount on-site does not exceed 1,000 kilograms. If the on-site amount approaches or reaches 1,000 kg, you’d need to reclassify (or manage shipments) under the higher-quantity rules. That’s why the best answer is unlimited time until reaching 1,000 kg. The other timeframes apply to other generator categories (LQG/SQG) and not to a CEG.
