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. |
