- Encyclopedia article about the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Subtitle D. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) is a federal law that describes how to handle solid and hazardous waste in the United States. Subtitle D of RCRA specifically concerns the management of nonhazardous solid waste. Waste disposal is an important issue for citizens in all states, including Georgia, because poor waste management can have negative effects on both the environment and human health. Subtitle D is implemented in Georgia by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
