Universal Wastes include items such as common batteries, fluorescent light bulbs and lamps, thermostats, thermometers, small electronics like games, computer equipment, televisions, cellular telephones, pagers, microwave ovens, equipment that contain mercury switches, and aerosol cans. A generator may choose to manage their Universal Waste under either the universal or hazardous waste regulations; however, managing the wastes as universal waste means that these wastes are subject to less stringent and onerous regulations. A generator opting to manage spent fluorescent tubes as universal waste will not count these wastes against their waste generator status or manifest them as hazardous waste during shipment, and the storage limits and times are greatly extended. However, the generator is not allowed to process (crush) spent fluorescent tubes prior to sending them to a universal waste handler, transporter or destination facility. 2.4 Agency Notifications, Permits, and Fees 2.4.1 EPA Identification Number Each business facility that generates, transports or offers for transport, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste generally must have an identification number, known as an EPA ID number.
