Mixed Demolition Debris does not carry a federal RCRA hazardous waste code. It is regulated as solid waste under state and local rules, and specifics depend on your state environmental agency.
Not being federally hazardous does not mean it has no value — clean mixed demolition debris is often a recovered commodity with active buyers.
RCRA classifies waste by source, process, and characteristics — not just material. Pick the row that matches how your mixed demolition debris arises; each coded row links to the full waste code definition under 40 CFR Part 261.
