Guides

Plain-language guides to the federal rules behind lab packing and hazardous-waste shipping. They're general information, not legal advice, and each one links to the regulations it summarizes.

• What is a lab pack?

  A lab pack is an outer container holding many small containers of hazardous waste, packed with absorbent. Here are the federal rules that shape one, and what travels with it.

• The hazardous waste manifest, step by step

  What the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest is, who signs it and when, what to have ready before you fill it in, and the deadlines when a signed copy doesn't come back.

• LDR notices explained

  What a land disposal restriction notice is, when a generator sends one, what it says, and how the alternative treatment standard for lab packs changes it.
