Hazardous Waste Manifests - EPA e-Manifest

Hazardous waste shipment manifests from the EPA e-Manifest register, published by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. 15.55 million waste lines, from 1991 through June 2026.

Low cost

From $0.00005 per record, down to $0.00003 at Gold. Pay only for the records you actually receive - the whole register stays queryable, you are never billed for the scan behind it.

What you get

One row per waste line on a shipment, with the full chain of custody attached:

• The shipment - the manifest tracking number and handling status
• Who shipped - the generator or receiving site, by EPA site id and name, and the site's state
• What waste - the waste code and description, and the DOT shipping description (UN number, hazard class)
• How much - the quantity and its unit of measure (pounds, gallons, kilograms, cubic yards)
• What happened to it - the management method (incineration, fuel blending, storage, landfill) and the container type
• When - the shipped, received and certified dates

Two things to know up front

• This is a national register, not a Pennsylvania-only one. 8,876,642 of the 15,553,852 lines (57.1%) carry a Pennsylvania site; the rest are OH, NJ, NC, MD, VA and others. Each row's site state is derived from the EPA site id and is filterable - set state="PA" to narrow to Pennsylvania, or leave it blank to read the register as a whole.
• A row is a waste line, not a shipment. One tracking number covers about 10.35 lines; there are 1,502,166 distinct manifests behind the 15.5M lines. The line count is what you receive; the tracking number is the shipment key.

Filter it

• State - state="PA" for Pennsylvania sites, state="OH" for Ohio.
• Site - siteName="Cycle Chem", epaSiteId="PAD000000554".
• Waste - wasteCode="D001" (ignitable), wasteCode="D002" (corrosive), wasteDescription="SOLVENT". 514 codes in total.
• Shipment - trackingNumber="028219191JJK" returns every line on one manifest (22 lines on this one).
• Status - Signed, Corrected, UnderCorrection.
• Site type - generator or designated facility.
• Management method - incineration, fuel blending, storage and more.
• Date range and last-N-days; quantity range.

Example inputs

Pennsylvania shipments of one waste - the headline query.

{ "state": "PA", "wasteCode": "D001", "maxResults": 50 }

Every line on one manifest - a tracking number is the shipment key.

{ "trackingNumber": "028219191JJK" }

What happens to the waste - mode=aggregate returns one count row per management method; every group comes back.

{ "state": "PA", "mode": "aggregate", "groupBy": "managementMethod" }

Or roll it up

Set mode=aggregate and get a rolled-up count by state, status, origin type, submission type, site type, management method or waste code. Every group comes back - not cut off by maxResults.

Then follow the waste

• Where a state's hazardous waste is generated, and where it goes.
• Every manifest a facility handled, line by line.
• Waste codes by volume - what is shipped, in what quantity.
• Incineration vs. landfill vs. fuel blending, by state.

Example output

One waste line - state=PA, wasteCode=D001:

Notes on the data, from the source

• Line, not shipment. See above - the manifest is the tracking number.
• Quantity unit varies per row. wasteQuantity is measured in the row's own wasteUomDescription (POUNDS 13.25M, GALLONS 1.95M, KILOGRAMS, CUBIC YARDS), so a quantity range compares across units.
• Some columns are intentionally blank on parts of the register. dotDescription is empty on the 5,998,392 non-DOT lines, and managementMethodDescription on 5,985,821. They are returned as the source holds them.
• dateReceived is not used - the source carries a bad future value there. dateShipped is fully populated and clean, and is the sort axis.
• The register is updated periodically, not daily; sourceUpdatedAt carries the dataset's own refresh date.
