Listed Hazardous Waste

A material is considered to be a hazardous waste if the EPA or the State of Georgia specifically lists it as a hazardous waste.

Lists of hazardous wastes identified by the EPA are as follows:

• Source-specific list (e.g. wastes from petroleum refining, metal fabrication, etc.; these are often referred to as K-wastes)
• Non-source-specific list (e.g. degreasing solvents, etc.; these are often referred to as F-wastes)
• Discarded commercial chemical products and spill residues (these are often referred to as P- and U-wastes; P-wastes are also known as "acutely hazardous wastes")
