EPA Waste Classification

FEDERAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE DETERMINATION · 40 CFR PART 261

💡

How to use this module

Option 1 — Upload SDS: Drop any PDF Safety Data Sheet and HazHelper will automatically extract chemical properties and determine applicable RCRA waste codes, exception pathways, and Subpart P applicability.
Option 2 — Manual Entry: Enter chemical properties directly if you don't have an SDS or prefer manual input.
Results include specific 40 CFR citations and are typically returned in under 30 seconds.

📄 Upload Safety Data Sheet

Upload a PDF SDS and Claude will automatically extract all relevant properties and run the EPA classification.
