Partially full cans are universal waste ( unless they previously held a material that would <br /> classify them as RCRA . <br /> b . If they are empty to the maximum extent possible ( i . e . , all contents, including propellant, <br /> have been completely discharged ) , and they did not contain a RCRA regulated or an <br /> extremely hazardous waste, then they are classified as hazardous or universal waste and <br /> can be managed as non - hazardous waste ( general refuse/garbage ) . However, it is hard to <br /> ascertain whether a can is completely empty, especially if the spray mechanism is <br /> defective and did not allow full discharge of the contents; therefore , all cans will be <br /> considered partially full and be disposed of as universal waste . <br /> c . The container must be labeled appropriately " Universal Waste — Aerosol Containers" . The <br /> accumulation start date must be indicated in the container . <br /> d .
