A solid waste is a hazardous waste if it is specifically listed as a known hazardous waste or meets the characteristics of a hazardous waste. Listed wastes are wastes from common manufacturing and industrial processes, specific industries and can be generated from discarded commercial products. Characteristic wastes are wastes that exhibit any one or more of the following characteristic properties: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity or toxicity.
A waste that has a hazardous component and a radioactive component is called a mixed waste and is regulated under both the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Atomic Energy Act.
