RCRA HAZARDOUS and NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act also referred to as RCRA, was passed in 1976 as regulation for waste management in the U.S. This federal law requires hazardous waste to be documented with different types of waste to be categorized.  Any waste that is considered part of the RCRA hazardous waste list is categorized by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

There are several forms of hazardous waste – sludges and solids, gases, and liquids. To be considered hazardous, waste must be at least one of the following:

EXAMPLES OF RCRA RULES AND REGULATIONS

b

GENERATOR REQUIREMENTS

TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL STANDARDS

RCRA establishes standards for the safe treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. This includes requirements for containers, labeling, and containment systems.

HAZARDOUS WASTE MANIFEST SYSTEM

RCRA requires the use of a manifest system to track hazardous waste from its generation to its final disposal. The manifest system helps ensure that hazardous waste is properly managed and disposed of.

Once again we say that transparency and traceability are crucial in the waste management industry, and we strive to provide our clients with peace of mind by ensuring that all waste is handled properly and responsibly.
