No, not that kind—reduce hazardous waste! Have you considered using the reclamation exclusions from RCRA’s definition of solid waste (DSW) to reduce your haz waste output?
These DSW exclusions were not widely adopted by states until recently. The intent is to encourage environmentally sound recycling. Hazardous secondary materials (materials that would be hazardous waste if disposed of) recycled under these exclusions are not solid or hazardous waste. So, if you can use one of them, it’s good for the environment and your bottom line.
Not all states have adopted them. Find out which ones have. Want to know more? Our DSW whitepaper explains how the exclusions work including the “transfer-based” exclusion, which has the potential to reduce hazardous waste generation.
