Summary

As part of ongoing outreach efforts associated with development of EPA's Retail RCRA Strategy, the Agency met with DRS and other representatives and toured the reverse logistics center.  Discussions focused on:  (1) the role played by reverse logistics centers, such as DRS, in the management and ultimate disposition of consumer goods that have become unsalable at retail stores and are moving through the reverse distribution process and (2) regulatory efforts already underway, such as the proposed Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals and Generator Improvements rules and planned guidance, to address RCRA-related issues, including retail sector challenges in terms of complying with RCRA regulations.
