Description: Discarded arsenical-treated wood is generally not subject to regulation as hazardous waste. Some Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) treated wood is exempt from regulation as household hazardous waste. States may have guidelines for disposal of CCA-treated wood in municipal solid waste landfills. EPA recommends discarded CCA-treated wood be disposed in a landfill designed to satisfy the design and performance criteria in 258.40 for protection of groundwater.
