who may not have much exposure to the issue of household vs. non-household
waste under RCRA. The EPA regulation in question here is the so-called
household waste exemption of 40 CFR 261.4(b)(1), which provides an exemption
from hazardous waste regulation for:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'> “Household waste, including household waste that has
been collected, transported, stored, treated, disposed, recovered (e.g.,
refuse-derived fuel) or reused. ‘Household waste’ means any
material (including garbage, trash, and sanitary wastes in septic tanks)
derived from households (including single and multiple residences, hotels and
motels, bunkhouses, ranger stations, crew quarters, campgrounds, picnic
grounds, and day-use recreation areas)…”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>This definition leaves a lot of room for interpretation,
especially with respect to the kinds of facilities that qualify as
“households,” and, by extension, the wastes that qualify for the
exemption However, EPA has provided guidance on the interpretation of
this provision. This EPA guidance focuses on two key criteria: (1)
the waste must be generated by individuals in a household; and, (2) it must be
the type of waste typically generated by residents in their homes. So, to
give an illustrative example, pharmaceutical wastes generated in a surgery
center of a hospital are clearly not household wastes since they are not
typical of the kinds of wastes generated by homeowners in their own
homes. However, if a patient in the same hospital has over-the-counter
medications or personal care products of their own that they dispose of in the
trash can in their hospital room, those WOULD qualify as household wastes.
The same could be said of similar wastes generated at a long-term residential
care facility (i.e., some may be exempt as household waste whereas others may
not). To provide another example, EPA has indicated that
wastes generated from the administration of medical care by healthcare
professional in a patient’s own home qualify as exempt household wastes.
The determining factor is not the type of facility at which the waste is
generated, but who actually generates the waste and what kind of waste it
is. For more detailed info on EPA’s policy on household wastes, see
the following links:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

think it is a good question for us to discuss and I’d like to hear of any
solutions other states have come up with for clinics, nursing homes, vets
– the people that kind of fall through the cracks – not covered by
homeowner’s exemptions but not big enough to use reverse distribution. I hate
to tell them about RCRA and that they need incur costs to dispose of their
drugs and have been told on more than one occasion that they are going to keep
flushing their meds until I come up with a regulation that says they
can’t. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
