Get Dtsc Universal Waste Inspection Checklist Form

Pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations, each container used for on-site hazardous waste accumulation must be labeled or marked clearly with the words “Hazardous Waste,” an indication of the hazards of the contents, and the date on which accumulation began (sections 262.16(b)(6) and ...

Labeling/Marking Each container and portable tank in which hazardous waste is accumulated must be labeled with the following information: Composition and physical state of the waste; statement or statements that call attention to the particular hazardous properties of the waste (e.g. flammable, reactive); and.

Lamps that are not waste because they have not been discarded or that are not hazardous waste are not universal wastes.

NOTE: Spent automotive-type lead acid storage batteries are not universal waste. They are hazardous wastes that are managed under a different set of regulatory requirements.

Universal wastes are hazardous upon disposal but pose a lower risk to people and the environment than other hazardous wastes. State and Federal regulations identify which unwanted products are universal wastes and provide simple rules for handling and recycling of them.

For additional information see DTSC's mercury web page. Wastes may be hazardous wastes if they exhibit any of the four characteristics of a hazardous waste (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and toxicity) as defined in Article 3 of Chapter 11 of the hazardous waste regulations (Sections 66261.21 to 66261.24).

Management of Universal Wastes Generators have the choice to manage hazardous wastes that fit into the categories of universal waste as universal wastes under Part 273 or under the complete hazardous waste requirements.

Universal wastes are hazardous wastes that are widely produced by households and many different types of businesses. Universal wastes include televisions, computers and other electronic devices as well as batteries, fluorescent lamps, mercury thermostats, and other mercury containing equipment, among others.

The federal regulations identify five specific categories of materials that can be managed as universal wastes: batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment, lamps and aerosol cans.

Types of waste that are commonly hazardous include cleaning solvents, spent acids and bases, metal finishing wastes, painting wastes, sludges from air and water pollution control units, and many other discarded materials.

Hazardous Waste Marking Each container needs to be labeled with the words “HAZARDOUS WASTE”, as well as the Accumulation Date (the date the waste was generated). Because this date allows regulatory agencies to verify you aren't storing waste longer than you're allowed, not including it leaves you subject to violations.
