EPA RCRA Hazardous Waste Management

Self-Assess
United States (federal; implemented by EPA and by states with RCRA programmes authorised under 40 CFR Part 271, which may be more stringent)
v40 CFR Parts 260 to 273 as current to 2026-09-22 (eCFR), including the Generator Improvements Rule (2016), the hazardous waste pharmaceuticals rule (2019), the ignitable spent refrigerants rule (2024) and the e-Manifest third rule changes effective 2025-12-01
21 domains
181 controls

The federal hazardous waste rules under RCRA Subtitle C (40 CFR Parts 260 to 273): how a generator determines its waste and its monthly category, the conditions for accumulating without a permit, manifests and e-Manifest, reports and exports; transporter duties; the standards, permits, closure and financial assurance for treatment, storage and disposal facilities; hazardous waste pharmaceuticals at healthcare facilities; land disposal restrictions; and universal waste. Built from the eCFR text current to September 22, 2026.

Verified

EPA RCRA Hazardous Waste Management is a compliance framework from United States (federal; implemented by EPA and by states with RCRA programmes authorised under 40 CFR Part 271, which may be more stringent) with 21 domains and 181 controls that map to 5 other frameworks. The largest domains are Part 264 Subparts I to FF: Unit-specific standards – EPA RCRA Hazardous Waste Management (30 controls), Part 266: Specific hazardous wastes and pharmaceuticals – EPA RCRA Hazardous Waste Management (16 controls), Part 273: Universal waste – EPA RCRA Hazardous Waste Management (15 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.
