Collecting, Processing and Recycling UNIVERSAL WASTE <br /> b. Any spent or discarded battery that contains one or more haz- <br /> ardous constituents that would cause it to be a hazardous waste <br /> if disposed. Batteries that often or always qualify include: <br /> • lithium • nickel cadmium <br /> • mercuric oxide • silver oxide <br /> • nickel metal hydride <br /> Some lead acid batteries may also be managed as Universal Waste <br /> if not managed under 40 CFR 266 (or its equivalent state regula- <br /> tion). <br /> c. Electronic Devices, "CRTs", "CRT glass", and "non-empty aerosol <br /> cans" are collected under a waste collection program. <br /> d.Used or discarded mercury-containing equipment. <br /> All 50 states recognize one or more Universal Wastes. In addition, <br /> some states also allow other hazardous wastes to be managed as <br /> Universal Wastes. However, some states do not include all four <br /> of the wastes listed above in their rule. <br /> If your facility generates any of the wastes listed above and your <br /> facility never accumulates more than 5000 kilograms (approx. <br /> 11,000 pounds) of all Universal Wastes combined at any one <br /> time, then you may elect to manage these wastes as a "Small <br /> Quantity Handler (SQH) of Universal Wastes". Alternatively, you <br /> may continue to manage them under traditional hazardous <br /> waste standards (40 CFR 262 or state regulations). However, you <br /> must manage and dispose of these hazardous wastes under one <br /> standard or the other. <br /> Leader Guide:eviscpruc_vod <br />
