Waste Disposal

It is the responsibility of chemical waste generators to determine the toxicity and physical properties and of a discarded chemical and to properly identify its classification and certification as a haz- ardous waste and to determine the disposal method. United States Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for the classification determination are listed in 40 CFR Parts 261.3. In addition, waste generators must consult and fol- low all regional, national, state, and local hazardous waste laws to ensure complete and accurate classification and dis- posal methods. Follow recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers. Containers must be dis- posed of properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
