EPA chose “universal” to describe the nature of certain widely dispersed hazardous wastes. The term does not have any specific regulatory meaning; however, if a hazardous waste exhibits any of the following common characteristics it could be classified as a universal waste:

UNIVERSAL WASTE RULE- DEFINITION
Lamp :
Lamp, also referred to as “universal waste lamp” is defined as the bulb or tube portion of an electric lighting device. A lamp is specifically designed to produce radiant energy, most often in the ultraviolet, visible, and infra-red regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Examples of common universal waste electric lamps include, but are not limited to, fluorescent, high intensity discharge, neon, mercury vapor, high pressure sodium, and metal halide lamps.

• Hazardous Waste Lamps : hazardous due to their mercury content, which include fluorescent lamps, high-intensity discharge (HID), neon, mercury vapor, high pressure sodium and metal halide lamps.

UNIVERSAL WASTE RULE- DEFINITIONS
Universal Waste Transporter :
Anyone that transports universal waste off-site. In New York, universal waste transporters that transport greater then 500 pounds of universal waste in a single shipment must be permitted, hazardous waste transporters, pursuant to 6NYCRR Part 364. Common carriers can transport up to 500 lbs. of universal waste in any shipment. All shipments of universal waste must be in compliance with USDOT regulations.

WHAT ARE THE UNIVERSAL WASTE REGULATIONS?
• These regulations have streamlined hazardous waste management standards for universal waste batteries, pesticides, thermostats, and lamps.
• The regulations govern the collection and management of these widely generated wastes. This facilitates the environmentally sound collection and increases the proper recycling or treatment of these wastes.
• These regulations ease the regulatory burden on entities that may not generate any other hazardous wastes.
![Page 17: 1 INTRODUCTION TOPIC: The Universal Waste Rule is designed to encourage recycling and proper disposal of some common, widespread, hazardous wastes. RELEVANCE:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5519e3ff5503467a178b4891/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1717
WHAT ARE THE UNIVERSAL WASTE REGULATIONS? (Continued)
• Greatly reduces the quantity of these wastes going to municipal solid waste landfills or combustion units, and directs them to appropriate treatment or recycling facilities.
• They also allow programs, such as “take-backs”, by retailers and distributors, to create an easy and convenient way for consumers to properly manage these wastes.

SMALL QUANTITY HANDLER (SQH)KEY REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
• must inform all employees, who handle or have the responsibility for managing universal waste of the proper handling and emergency procedures at the facility. • prohibited from sending or taking universal waste to a place other than another universal waste handler, a destination facility or foreign destination.• may self transport universal waste without a Part 364 waste haulers permit as long as less then 500 lbs. of total universal waste is being shipped. Shipment of greater then 500 lbs. will require a Part 364 permit.

SOME MAJOR ADVANTAGES OF USING THE UNIVERSAL WASTE RULE WHEN MANAGING YOUR HAZARDOUS WASTES :
• Universal wastes are not counted toward your generator status, therefore there are no annual hazardous waste generator report requirements and no associated fees.
• Less paperwork
• No manifesting required
• May self transport or use common carrier

2323
• Reduce the amount of hazardous waste entering the municipal solid waste stream.
• Encourage the recycling and proper disposal of some common hazardous wastes.• Reduce the regulatory burden on businesses and other sources that generate these wastes.
In summary, the Universal Waste Rule is an alternative hazardous waste
regulation which helps:

MERCURY-CONTAINING EQUIPMENT
“MERCURY-CONTAINING EQUIPMENT” (MCE) is a new federal universal waste category. Mercury is used in several types of instruments that are common to electric utilities, municipalities and households. Some of these devices include:
-Manometers -Mercury wetted switches
-Thermometers -Temperature gauges
-Barometers -Pressure relief gauges
-Relay switches -Sprinkler system contacts
-Meters -Mercury regulators
