About California Hazardous Waste
A hazardous waste is a waste that is capable of causing harm to humans and organisms when mismanaged or released into the environment.
For something to be a hazardous waste, first it must be a waste. That is to say it is: abandoned, inherently waste-like, a discarded military munitions, or recycled item. For that waste to be a federal hazardous waste, it must be defined by statute as hazardous according to 40 CFR Part 261. Some federal hazardous wastes are identified by the following characteristics: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity or toxicity. Others are explicitly listed as a hazardous waste. A good summary of federal hazardous waste characteristics can be found here”(California Department of Toxic Substances Control Website).
To further complicate the definition, California has its own hazardous waste list that goes above and beyond federal hazardous waste.
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) offers a free hazardous waste classification online class.
If you are unsure if waste material on-site is hazardous, contact a qualified expert and handle all hazardous wastes in compliance with federal and state law.
