Traditional Municipal Solid Waste Disposal: A Guide for Local Governments
Measuring Waste
To accurately record waste for reporting to the agency, the facility must
measure or weigh waste received at the gate, prior to disposal or
processing. For quarterly reporting, the waste accepted is reported as it was
recorded at the gate, whether compacted/uncompacted tons or compacted/
uncompacted cubic yards. For annual reporting, the total waste accepted
must be reported in tons; if you use volumetric measurements in your
facility's records, you can convert them to short tons.
Small Community Equivalent Factor
If your landfill or transfer station serves fewer than 5,000 people, you may
use a population-equivalent factor instead of maintaining records of the
actual amount of waste deposited. Under this system, the amount of waste
is calculated as 1 ton per person a year. The report must document the
population served by the facility and reflect any changes in population since
the previous report.
Quarterly Report
You must submit a quarterly solid-waste summary report to the TCEQ no
later than 20 days following the end of each fiscal quarter. Table 3 lists the
due dates.

Annual Report
The operator must submit an annual summary of the yearly totals and
the year-end status of the facility. An operator must file a separate report
for each facility that has a unique permit or registration number. For
more information on how to determine your year-end-status, refer
to instructions and guidance for the MSW Annual Report at

Operators of facilities such as transfer stations, shredders, balers, and
methane extractors-also known as facilities not for disposal-must
