Basically there are three types of waste generated by fountain Valley Express <br />• Hazardous Waste <br />• Universal Waste <br />• Garbage <br />Hazardous Waste <br />• Hazardous waste is waste that is Toxic, Corrosive, Ignitable, and or Reactive. <br />One waste product may exhibit more then one of these characteristics. Example: <br />` One waste may be both Toxic and Corrosive <br />• Hazardous waste is covered in 40 CFR Part 261 and Section 66261.3 of Title 22 <br />C R. <br />• Mountain Valley Terminals are considered small quantity generators of <br />hazardous waste. This determination is based on the amount of hazardous waste <br />we generate. <br />Universal Waste <br />• Universal waste is a lower -risk hazardous waste. While universal waste may <br />exhibit hazardous waste characteristics, the wastes are regulated under less <br />restrictive management standards. <br />• Universal wastes are typically recycled. Mountain valley's policy is to recycle any <br />waste product when ever legally possible. <br />• The primary goal of universal waste rules is to divert this type of waste from non- <br />hazardous municipal solid waste. <br />Garbage <br />• Garbage is all non -recyclable, non -hazardous, and non -universal solid waste <br />generated by our company <br />• These waste materials are the only wastes allowed to throw into are garbage <br />dumpsters for disposal. <br />EPA Number <br />• An EPA number is required for each location generating and or accumulating <br />hazardous waste <br />• Each Mountain Valley terminal is assigned its own EPA number <br />• All EPA numbers are location specific meaning each location is required to have <br />its own EPA number assigned to it if it generates or accumulates hazardous waste. <br />
