Exemptions

Household hazardous wastes are, by definition, exempt from federal hazardous waste regulations, however, the EPA has stressed that household hazardous wastes should be treated with caution. There may also be state regulations that cover your household hazardous waste, so please check local and state regulations.

Under federal hazardous waste regulations, farms may be considered conditionally exempt. Conditionally exempt operations are not required to obtain a U.S. EPA identification number or a manifest form for disposal, but they still must deliver their wastes to a licensed hazardous waste facility.
