24.  Bucknell is required to provide training  You may create hazardous waste  Hazardous wastes must be disposed off properly  Review the written Hazardous Waste Plan

25.  Declared waste  When the generator declares the material has no further use and is to be discarded

26.  Inherently waste-like o Containers in bad condition o Obviously waste, in bad condition, leaking, abandoned, rusty, bulged out or in, tears and cracks, etc.

27.  Its listed as a HW by the EPA - (P, U, K & F)  Its characteristics makes it a HW. ◦ Ignitability ◦ Corrosivity ◦ Reactivity ◦ Toxicity
