EPA is proposing to add hazardous pharmaceutical wastes to the Universal Waste Rule. The proposed rule would facilitate better management of pharmaceutical wastes by streamlining the generator requirements and encouraging generators of hazardous pharmaceutical wastes to manage them under the provisions of the Universal Waste Rule, which ensures that these hazardous pharmaceutical wastes are properly disposed of and treated as hazardous wastes. In addition, the proposed rule would facilitate the implementation of pharmaceutical take-back programs by removing RCRA barriers in the collection of pharmaceutical wastes from health care and other such regulated facilities, as well as facilitate the collection of pharmaceutical wastes from households, including non-hazardous pharmaceutical wastes.

EPA Issues New “Definition of Solid Waste” Rule to Encourage More Recycling. The EPA finalized its new definition of solid waste in a pre-publication Federal Register notice on October 7, 2008. Under the new rule, hazardous secondary materials that are “legitimately” reclaimed or that the EPA or an authorized state determines to be “non-wastes” through a case-by-case determination are excluded from the definition of “solid waste” under federal law. The new rule sets forth standards as to what constitutes “legitimate” reclamation activities.
The new rule had not yet been published in the Federal Register as of the time of this writing. A copy of the final rule, however, can be found at http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/dsw/downloads/dsw-rule08.pdf. The rule will take effect 60 days following its publication in the Federal Register.
