Universal Waste Information
Universal wastes are specific hazardous waste streams that a company can choose to manage in an alternative manner in place of hazardous waste regulations if the waste exhibits any hazardous waste characteristic. Examples of Universal Waste includes: Electric Lamps, including fluorescent, high intensity discharge, sodium vapor, mercury vapor, neon and incandescent lamps. Batteries, including spent dry cell and lead-acid batteries. Devices containing elemental mercury, including thermostats, switches, thermometers, manometers, barometers and various medical devices.
Electronic Equipment
There are several advantages of handling these wastes as Universal Waste: Universal waste volume is not included when determining the hazardous waste generator status [R 299.9205 (5) (I)]. This may allow your company to reduce your generator status level. Waste can be accumulated for up to one year. Less labeling is required, container must be labeled "Used lamps", "Universal Waste Lamps". A hazardous waste manifest is not necessary to ship your waste, a shipper or bill of lading is the only form required by the US DOT (Department of Transportation). You do not have to transport the waste with a licensed hazardous waste transporter. If these waste streams are not managed as Universal Waste, then your waste must be managed under the applicable hazardous waste regulation if the waste exhibits any hazardous waste characteristic.
