| Description: | Once a rag, wiper, or any solid waste is drained of all free-flowing used oil, the generator must determine its hazardous waste status. Whether or not a rag contains listed hazardous waste, is mixed with listed hazardous waste, exhibits a characteristic, or is not waste at all depends on site-specific factors. Industrial laundries are not POTWs. Therefore, hazardous waste mixed with domestic sewage that is conveyed to laundry by sewer system is not excluded. Discharges from a laundry to a POTW via the sewer system may qualify for the domestic sewage exclusion. |
