Which subtitle addresses non-hazardous solid waste?

• A. Subtitle C
• B. Subtitle D
• C. Subtitle A
• D. Subtitle B

Answer: (B)

Nonhazardous solid waste is addressed by the subtitle that governs everyday trash and nonhazardous waste streams, setting the standards for how that waste is collected, stored, transported, treated, and disposed of. This subtitle focuses on typical municipal and some industrial wastes that aren’t classified as hazardous, with management usually carried out at state or local levels under federal guidance. It covers facilities like municipal landfills and recycling operations and aims to protect health and the environment without the extra safeguards required for hazardous waste.

This makes it the correct choice because the other subtitles handle different areas: one regulates hazardous waste with stricter controls such as manifests and permits, while others cover general provisions or other topics.
