Description:
The International Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Association (ISWA), an international nongovernmental organization comprising twenty-seven national organizations of waste management professionals, conducted a survey to obtain information regarding household and small-quantity-generator hazardous wastes. This report presents the U.S. response to this survey. The questionnaire covered five different areas: 1) problems, 2) policy approach, 3) technical and organizational aspects, 4) case studies, and 5) treatment and disposal research and development. Comments were also invited. The appendices include the ISWA Questionnaire, a table and other information regarding State laws and regulations governing household hazardous waste, and a listing of the permanent household hazardous waste collection programs operating in 1988. A glossary of acronyms is presented at the end of the report.
