Waste Recycling and Reuse

Hazardous Waste Management

Wastes classified as hazardous possess characteristics that make them potentially dangerous to both humans and the environment. Slimes, enclosed gases, liquids, solids, and other hazardous wastes are all possible. They may be leftover from meeting places or simply discarded commercial items like pesticides or cleaning agents. RCRA hazardous wastes are actually defined as waste that is identified on one of the four dangerous wastes records (F-list, K-list, P-rundown, or U-rundown) or exhibits at least one of the following four characteristics: ignitability, destructive propensity, reactivity, or hurtfulness. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act coordinates hazardous wastes (RCRA).
