About the Portal
This portal is intended to help generators find hazardous waste compliance assistance resources. The portal includes both federal and state information and it covers most industrial and commercial business sectors as well as households.
The portal catalogs over 800 hazardous waste compliance resources, including guidebooks, fact sheets, reports, checklists, web sites, contacts, and regulations. Various features are available to assist users in finding the best guidance materials and answers to specific questions.
This portal is associated with EPA's Compliance Assistance Centers. These sector-specific Centers may have additional hazardous waste resources that are not included in the portal's database. Users are urged to check your sector-specific Center for additional hazardous waste resources.
