Local and state environmental regulations and EPA enforcement of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), regulate the generation, treatment, storage, handling, clean-up, transportation and recycling of universal wastes, including products which contain mercury. Mercury-containing lamps, and medical and electrical equipment and devices as well as batteries are regulated as Universal Wastes.
While Federal Regulations for electronics have yet to be adopted, several states have implemented regulations and programs to treat electronics in a manner similar to universal wastes.
Your company may be at risk of severe financial penalties, criminal prosecution and long-term liability if universal wastes are improperly managed.
Waste Management's LampTracker offers environmentally friendly, safe, and simple recycling solutions for fluorescent lamps, dry cell batteries, lighting ballasts, mercury devices, computers, and electronics.
The prepaid program includes recycling containers, shipping both ways via UPS or FedEx ground, recycling of the waste, and complete online documentation of every container ordered and recycled. You can even choose to auto-reorder so you're never stuck with waste in your facility. Containers are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit different facilities and needs.
