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.
