Listed, characteristic, and universal waste from healthcare and lab operations.
Healthcare and laboratory operations routinely generate RCRA hazardous waste — P-listed and U-listed pharmaceuticals, ignitable solvents (xylene, methanol, formalin), corrosives, mercury-containing devices, and characteristic toxics like silver from radiology fixer. Maryland's MDE Hazardous Waste Program enforces 40 CFR Parts 260–273. We profile each waste stream, supply DOT-compliant containers, file LDR and biennial reports, and lab-pack for safe transport.
We segregate, package, and transport every stream to meet federal and Maryland-specific requirements. Inspectors look for these citations — your service should be built around them.

Maryland enforces additional state-specific reporting for SQGs and LQGs. We help profile and track to keep your status accurate.
Formalin solutions ≥10% formaldehyde are typically RCRA hazardous due to corrosivity (D002) and may also exhibit toxicity. Lower concentrations and used formalin should be evaluated against local POTW limits before any sewer discharge.
