Managing Hazardous Waste

We protect the environment and communities by ensuring compliance with hazardous waste laws

Existing Laws and Regulations

Any business that produces or manages a waste must evaluate that waste. Evaluating waste means determining whether or not the waste is hazardous. Hazardous waste requires special handling and disposal to ensure protection of human health and the environment. In California, Department of Toxic Substances Control regulates identification and management of hazardous waste.
