Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Training Module about Hazardous Waste Identification

***NOTE***

This module was last updated in 2005 so it has not been updated to reflect regulatory changes that have been made since then. Though this is still a useful resource, it is not intended to serve as a comprehensive source of regulatory information.

This training module explains the hazardous waste identification process and the definition of hazardous waste, and be familiar with the following concepts:

  • Hazardous waste listings
  • Hazardous waste characteristics
  • The "mixture" and "derived-from" rules
  • The "contained-in" policy
  • The Hazardous Waste Identification Rules
