Federal Laws and Regulations
This page contains links to summaries and full text versions of Federal laws and regulations for managing solid/hazardous wastes.

Also, it is important to point out that all states have solid/hazardous waste regulations and in many cases, these are different or more stringent than the Federal rules. Therefore, contact your state agency to determine exactly what requirements apply to your facility (Go to Envcap State Agency Locator).
