Generators of hazardous waste are required to  conduct a hazardous waste determination   and to  count the hazardous waste generated in order to determine their hazardous waste generator category . If a generator mixes its hazardous waste with a solid waste (i.e., a non-hazardous waste), the resulting mixture may have an effect on regulatory requirements and a lot more.  For that reason, USEPA thought it wise to include revised regulations on the mixing of hazardous and non-hazardous waste in the  Generator Improvements Rule .


Important note: The mixing of hazardous waste with a non-hazardous waste is not an easy method to avoid the hazardous waste regulations. It may result in an increase in the amount of hazardous waste generated and therefore require compliance with the regulations of a higher generator category to avoid violating the RCRA permitting requirements. Proceed with caution and be certain to do your research.
