House·20th Congress·Filed Aug 4, 2025

An Act Providing for the Comprehensive Management of Hazardous Waste

In plain language

The Hazardous Waste Management Act proposes a nationwide system to identify, regulate, and safely handle hazardous waste—including medical waste, e‑waste, and special household waste—through national frameworks, standards, and enforcement mechanisms. It makes the DENR the lead agency, creates an inter‑agency council, and sets fines and other penalties for non‑compliance.
