RCRA Hazardous Waste

Understanding RCRA Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste under RCRA falls into listed and characteristic categories, covering everything from ignitable solvents to toxic heavy metals. Your facility's generator status (Very Small, Small, or Large Quantity Generator) determines your specific storage limits, time limits, and reporting obligations.

Manifests must accompany hazardous waste from the point of generation to its final treatment or disposal, creating a documented chain of custody the EPA can trace at every step. Missing or incomplete manifests are one of the most common sources of compliance violations.

Key Considerations

• Your generator status determines storage time limits, quantity limits, and reporting requirements.
• Hazardous waste must be properly labeled, stored, and manifested before it leaves your facility.
• Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifests should be tracked and retained for EPA compliance.
• Waste characterization should be reviewed periodically as your processes or materials change.
