If your solid waste is not automatically excluded as a hazardous waste, you need to determine if it is a listed hazardous waste. A solid waste is a hazardous waste only if it is specifically listed as a known hazardous waste, or meets the characteristics of a hazardous waste. It must be listed on one of four lists (the F, K, P and U lists) found in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in section 261, found here.
If yes, is the waste delisted by the RCRA?
If your solid waste is listed as a hazardous waste under CFR regulation, you then need to determine if this waste is subject to delisting. RCRA regulations will exclude or “delist” a particular facility’s waste from the list of hazardous wastes if it does not possess dangerous properties. Listed hazardous wastes have the opportunity to be delisted from the classification of hazardous waste, if the waste generating process changes, which can be a major way to reduce costs. Characteristic hazardous wastes, which are designated hazardous because they exhibit dangerous properties such as corrosivity, ignitability, reactivity, or toxicity, cannot be delisted.
If no, you possess a hazardous waste subject to RCRA Subtitle C regulation.
If your facility is in possession of a hazardous waste, make sure you follow the “cradle to grave” framework of proper management of hazardous waste as directed under EPA rule.
When does solvent waste become a hazardouse waste?
Solvent waste becomes a hazardous waste due to a contamination, or when the solvent is no longer able to be used for its intended purpose without first being regenerated, recycled, reclaimed, or otherwise reprocessed.
