Subtitle C is associated with regulation of which category of waste?

• A. Nonhazardous solid waste
• B. All community waste
• C. Hazardous waste as a subset of solid waste
• D. Recyclable materials

Answer: (C)

Subtitle C regulates hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. It creates the cradle-to-grave system for managing hazardous waste—from generation and transportation to treatment, storage, and disposal—with rules for how facilities operate and how wastes are tracked.

Hazardous waste is defined as a subset of solid waste, meaning only certain wastes qualify as hazardous, unlike nonhazardous solid waste, which falls under Subtitle D. Municipal or community waste is not the focus of Subtitle C; recyclables are not a general Category under Subtitle C, though some recyclables could be hazardous if they meet the definitions. So the best fit is hazardous waste as a subset of solid waste.
