Identification of Hazardous Wastes
The RCRA regulations classify hazardous wastes into the following categories:
- Listed waste, which is a waste specifically listed by the EPA
- Characteristic waste, which is a waste that is ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic
- Mixed waste, which is waste that has a hazardous component and a radioactive component
- Universal waste, which includes batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment, and lamps
Each type of hazardous waste has its own set of rules regarding generation, transportation, storage, treatment, and disposal.
