| E8-28161 | Amendment to the Universal Waste Rule: Addition of Pharmaceuticals | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing to add hazardous pharmaceutical wastes to the Universal Waste Rule. The Universal Waste Rule, originally promulgated on May 11, 1995, modified the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act's hazardous waste regulations by establishing a set of streamlined requirements for the collection of certain widely dispersed hazardous wastes, called "universal wastes." This 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, this 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. | 2008-12-02 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/02/E8-28161/amendment-to-the-universal-waste-rule-addition-of-pharmaceuticals | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-02/pdf/E8-28161.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing to add hazardous pharmaceutical wastes to the Universal Waste Rule.
