Hazardous means that a substance has at least one of four characteristics: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity. A list of transporters can be found at http://www.state.ma.us/dep/bwp/dhm/files/trnsalph.pdf. Hazardous wastes regulations for Massachusetts are located under the Code of Massachusetts Regulations - 310 CMR 30.000 (found in public and private libraries). The regulations can also be downloaded from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) website at http://www.state.ma.us/dep/bwp/dhm/dhmpubs.htm#regs.
