The Resource Protection Recovery Act (RCRA) protects community and resource protection. In order to achieve this goal, the EPA will promote regulations, guidelines and policies to ensure the safe management and purification of solid waste and hazardous waste, as well as encouraging reduction of sources and beneficial reuse We have established a program. The term RCRA is often used interchangeably to refer to laws, regulations, and EPA policies and guidelines. The law lists waste management plans obliged by Congress, which gives the EPA the authority to develop an RCRA plan. EPA regulations have achieved Congressional intent by providing clear, legally enforceable requirements for waste management. These regulations are listed in Title 40 of the Federal Regulations (CFR), sections 239 to 282. EPA guidance documents and policy directives clarify issues related to the implementation of regulations.

In 1976, the Law on Recovery of Resources was passed as a revision proposal for SWDA. RCRA ultimately managed hazardous waste in the US. According to the RCRA, federal regulations specify how to generate hazardous waste, transport and disposal. If the state has the authority to manage the RCRA, the state is allowed to manage these procedures. By 1983, total dumping of hazardous waste was completely prohibited. RCRA covers hazardous waste management from cradle to grave. This means that RCRA manages how to handle hazardous waste ("critical problems") from the start point ("cradle") to the final disposal point. There are several key departments in charge of these processes, all of which have specific responsibilities as defined by RCRA.
