Supplementary notes

Hazardous waste management information is obtained from data reported by facilities that treated, stored, recycled or disposed of hazardous wastes during the reporting year.
The statistic does not include all the hazardous waste generated in the United States, as there is hazardous waste generated that is not federally required to be reported in the Biennial Report (including hazardous waste generated by very small quantity and small quantity generators).
The source did not provide a publication date. The release date given is the date of access.
