Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 70 rows came out of a blueprint — 14 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

Every event must include a waste type, source department, and disposal method.
Violations are flagged if disposal method conflicts with waste type regulations.
Events missing proper timestamp or handler ID are marked as incomplete.
Monthly totals per waste type must be aggregated for summary reporting.
Compliance checks run against local regulatory thresholds.
