Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Training Module about Solid and Hazardous Waste Exclusions

***NOTE***

This module was last updated in 2001 so it has not been updated to reflect regulatory changes that have been made since then. Though this is still a useful resource, it is not intended to serve as a comprehensive source of regulatory information. For recent regulatory information, visit our exclusions sections of this web page.

This training module:

  • Cites the regulatory section for exclusions, and identify materials that are not solid wastes and solid wastes that are not hazardous wastes
  • Locates the manufacturing process unit exclusion
  • Identifies the sample and treatability study exclusions and their applicability
  • Outlines and specify the conditions for meeting the exclusions for household wastes and mixtures of domestic sewage
