Every state except Iowa and Alaska are EPA authorized states, which means they have the authority from EPA to manage their own hazardous waste programs. These states must promulgate and enforce hazardous waste regulations that are at least as stringent as the federal RCRA regulations but may also be more stringent.

Subscribers to the PharmE® Waste Wizard have access to our state hazardous regulations database. This database lists each state along with a summary of the state's major requirements including an indication as to whether or not the state is more stringent than RCRA in defining hazardous waste. The database also includes a link to the the pertinent regulations on the state's website.

In addition, the PharmE® Waste Wizard automatically displays this information whenever a subscriber uses the PharmE® Waste Wizard to look up a product.
