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.
