Since February 8; 2006, universal waste may not be discarded in solid waste landfills. Scientists at DTSC have found that these wastes will leak toxic substances, mostly metals, in a typical landfill. Some examples of universal waste include: batteries, fluorescent tubes (lamps), electronic devices (cell phones, computers, televisions), cathode ray tubes (CRTs) (computer monitors, televisions), mercury wastes (thermometers and toys), and non-empty aerosol cans. Additional information can be found at: http://www.dtsc.ca.cov/HazardousWaste/UniversalWaste/index.cfm Many local government agencies run programs that help households and small businesses recycle or properly dispose of their hazardous wastes. Some retailers collect certain universal wastes, such as batteries, electronics and fluorescent light tubes. For information on local collection programs, contact your municipal waste service provider, or local household hazardous waste program.

TREATED WOOD WASTE In 2007 regulations were adopted establishing alternative management standards for treated wood waste that are hazardous waste. Treated wood is wood that has been treated with a chemical preservative to protect the wood from insects and other environmental conditions that can lead to wood decay. Wood was likely treated if it was used in direct contact with the ground or installed for harsh outdoor use. Common surface coatings such as paint, varnish, and oil stain are not considered wood preservatives under these regulations. The regulations require that generators of more than 10,000 pounds of treated wood waste in a calendar year obtain an EPA ID number if they do not already have one for the site where the waste is generated.
