Specifications include, but are not limited to: A. MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE shall be defined more commonly known as trash or garbage- consists of everyday items we use and then throw away, such as product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint, and batteries. B. REGULATED MEDICAL WASTE INCLUDING SHARPS shall be defined as waste which is generated in the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals, in research pertaining thereto, or in production and testing of biologicals, provided however, that regulated medical waste shall not include hazardous waste. C. HAZARDOUS PHARMECUTICAL WASTE shall be defined as waste streams that reflect the complexity and diversity of the chemicals that comprise pharmaceuticals. D. HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL WASTE shall be defined as all RCRA and non RCRA hazardous chemical waste streams being generated at UNMHS facilities. To be considered a hazardous waste, a material first must be classified as a solid waste (40 CFR §261.2). EPA defines solid waste as garbage, refuse, sludge, or other discarded material (including solids, semisolids, liquids, and contained gaseous materials). If a waste is considered solid waste, it must then be determined if it is hazardous waste (§262.11). Wastes are defined as hazardous by EPA if they are specifically named on one of four lists of hazardous wastes located in Subpart D of Part 261 (F, K, P, U) or if they exhibit one of four characteristics located in Subpart C of Part 261 (characteristic wastes). E. CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC WASTE shall be defined as any chemical manufactured for the purpose of treating a patient with cancer that must be disposed of. Chemotherapeutic drugs are also referred to as antineoplastic drugs. Chemotherapeutic drugs include all drugs that after a formulary analysis has been performed can be defined as RCRA hazardous and all remaining drugs that are not RCRA hazardous. To provide all UNMHS facilities with the best opportunity of remaining or being able to obtain small quantity generator (SQG) status of hazardous waste all RCRA and non-RCRA drugs must be managed separately.
