Waste Disposal Guidelines
UNIVERSAL WASTE
The Universal Waste Rule permits certain hazardous wastes to be
managed under streamlined requirements that encourage the collection,
recycling or disposal of certain wastes. Although still considered
"hazardous," this "Universal Waste" rule provides for reduced management
and record keeping requirements regarding these specific wastes.
Example:
Fluorescent and high intensity discharge lamps, neon, mercury vapor, high
pressure sodium, and metal halide lamps
Batteries
Mercury thermostats
Certain pesticides
Computer monitors (see computer page)
