TL;DR

Lead waste disposal is the handling and discarding of debris from lead paint work, bagged in sealed 6-mil plastic, gooseneck-tied, and routed according to the rules that apply to the generator: household-generated renovation waste usually may go to ordinary municipal landfill, while abatement firms and commercial generators must test waste using TCLP and manifest anything hazardous, above 5 milligrams per liter leachable lead, to a licensed facility. Architectural components like doors and windows are wrapped before transport, and state rules can be stricter than the federal floor.
