Your State-by-State Guide to RCRA Hazardous Waste Reporting

Introduction

Navigating RCRA Hazardous Waste compliance requirements across multiple states presents significant challenges — even for experienced EHS professionals. From managing varying generator requirements and biennial/annual/bespoke reporting obligations, to submitting through diverse state reporting systems, regulated facilities face a complex regulatory landscape. The requirements extend beyond federal guidelines, with states implementing their own specific waste determinations, manifest systems, and reporting deadlines that complement EPA’s biennial reporting schedule. To help simplify this process, we’ve developed this comprehensive state-by-state RCRA reporting resource. Simply locate your state of interest, then visit the dedicated page to understand that state’s specific approach to hazardous waste reporting and generator requirements.
