REGULATION GUIDANCE: (a) A universal waste handler shall accumulate universal waste for no longer than one year from the date the universal waste was generated, or was received from another universal waste handler. (b) A universal waste handler shall be able to demonstrate the length of time that the universal waste has been accumulated from the date it became a waste or was received. The universal waste handler may make this demonstration by: (1) Placing the universal waste in a container and marking or labeling the container with the earliest date that any universal waste in the container became a waste or was received; (2) Marking or labeling the individual item of universal waste (e.g., each battery or thermostat) with the date it became a waste or was received; (3) Maintaining an inventory system onsite that identifies the date the universal waste being accumulated became a waste or was received; (4) Maintaining an inventory system onsite that identifies the earliest date that any universal waste in a group of items of universal waste or a group of containers of universal waste became a waste or was received; (5) Placing the universal waste in a specific accumulation area and marking or labeling the area to identify the earliest date that any universal waste in the area became a waste or was received; or (6) Any other method which clearly demonstrates the length of time that the universal waste has been accumulated from the date it became a waste or was received.
