Treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDs) are the last EPA defines three categories of hazardous waste generators based upon the quantity of hazardous waste they generate per month: Very small quantity generators (VSQGs), which generate less than 100 kilograms (kg) or 220 pounds (lbs) per month. Small quantity generators (SQGs), which generate between 100 and 1,000 kg (220 and 2,200 lbs) per month.
