Title: Rulemaking on the Definition of Solid Waste
Abstract: EPA's reexamination of the 2008 definition of solid waste final rule identified areas that could be improved to better protect public health and the environment with a particular focus on communities adjacent to hazardous waste recycling facilities. Potential regulatory changes should improve accountability and oversight of hazardous materials recycling, while allowing flexibility to promote economic and environmental benefits. Facilities affected include those that send hazardous waste off-site to be recycled and those that recycle hazardous waste on-site.
