• Rules. Iowa does not have U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authorization to manage its own hazardous waste program under RCRA; therefore, the federal hazardous waste recycling rules are in effect. To review these rules, see the national section RECYCLING. Iowa does, however, oversee a recycling program for household hazardous material. Iowa has adopted regulations for recycling of plastic bottles, white goods, cathode-ray tubes (CRTs), motor oil, batteries, and waste tires.
