Full text

Unless they are very small, such as an ampule, containers must be either: (a) At least 90 percent full when placed in the landfill; or (b) Crushed, shredded, or similarly reduced in volume to the maximum practical extent before burial in the landfill.

Legislative history

This is a federal regulation, adopted through agency rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act — not enacted by a recorded vote of Congress.
