Generators must determine whether generated material is first, a "waste,"
second, a "solid waste," and last, a "hazardous waste." There are two methods
of making a determination of hazardous waste. The substance may be a "listed"
waste, one of hundreds of substances that EPA has placed on a list of
hazardous waste. Or the substance may be a "characteristic" waste. A
characteristic waste is one that exhibits any of four hazardous waste
characteristics: corrosivity, ignitability, reactivity, or toxicity.
