<br>
I want to let you know that we have recently finalized our updated hazardous waste guide for small businesses, and it’s now available online. Please see the information below for further details, and feel free to share it, link to it, or disseminate it via
whatever other method you like. Also, we’re currently in the process of developing flyers and postcards that will help advertise the guide and direct users to the online resource. I’ll send along the digital versions to everyone as soon as they’re available.

EPA is excited to announce the availability of an updated version of our targeted small business guide:
<a href="https://clicktime.symantec.com/36s7wpF2eMvGjLqAirckuZN7Vc?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.epa.gov%2Fhwgenerators%2Fmanaging-your-hazardous-waste-guide-small-businesses" target="_blank">
“Managing Hazardous Waste: A Guide for Small Businesses.”</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">This handbook provides an overview of the federal hazardous waste regulations to give small business owners and operators a basic understanding of their hazardous waste management responsibilities. It answers questions
like “Do hazardous waste regulations apply to me?” “How do I know which generator category I am?” and “What kinds of requirements do I have to follow?” This handbook will help small businesses get on the road to proper hazardous waste management, a critical
step in protecting human health and the environment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The Guide has been updated to reflect the changes to the regulations for hazardous waste generators since the previous version of the publication, including the 2016 Generator Improvements Rule, wastes added to
the universal waste program, Subpart K for academic laboratories, the Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals Rule, and electronic reporting/e-Manifest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> You can find and share the Guide at
