Disposal of Formaldehyde-Containing Solutions

Regulations regarding formaldehyde disposal are dictated by state and local ordinances, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT).
Local regulations for disposal should be checked first. If the state or local regulations require disposal as a hazardous or toxic waste, state and federal regulations apply and must be consulted.
