<br />SUBJECT: REVISED HAZARDOUS WASTE LOAD CHECKING PROGRAM FOR
<br />SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITIES
<br />Dear Mr. Repetto:
<br />Established State and Federal regulations prohibit the disposal of regulated hazardous
<br />wastes, liquid wastes, and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) at Class III landfills. As of
<br />February 8, 2006, disposing pf most consumer electronic products (computers,
<br />cell phones, all household batteries, fluorescent lamps, mercury thermostats,
<br />printers, VCRs, telephones, answering machines, radios, and microwaves) at
<br />Class Nl landfills is also prohibited...
<br />Batteries and consumer electronics contain lead, mercury, cadmium and chromium,
<br />which can contaminate the air, water and soil. These products and others have been
<br />classified by the State as universal waste and will have to go to a recycler or a
<br />household hazardous waste facility. Similar regulations have banned TV sets and
<br />computer monitors from the State's landfills since 2001. The term "universal waste' is
<br />used to describe these products because they are found in nearly every home and
<br />business.
<br />This notification is being sent to all solid waste haulers who use San Joaquin County
<br />solid waste disposal facilities. Your cooperation in making this program successful is
<br />appreciated. As a reminder to you, the following Newly Excluded Universal Waste is
<br />prohibited from being landfilled at County operated disposal sites:
<br />• Common batteries such as silver button batteries, AA, AAA, C and D cells, but
<br />not car batteries, which are already regulated, rechargeable nickel -cadmium
