In an effort to simplify and therefore increase compliance, certain wastes which would otherwise be regulated as
hazardous have been designated “Universal Waste” by the Federal and State environmental protection agencies. In Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC these wastes include:
- Spent batteries
- Waste pesticides
- Used mercury containing lamps or thermostats
- PCB containing lamp ballasts
- Machine oils & lubricants
- Computers & waste electronics
BWS will help your facility design and implement comprehensive internal collection and waste management programs that will deliver full regulatory compliance and minimize treatment and recovery handling expense.
BWS has a corporate ZERO LANDFILL policy for Universal Wastes. 100% of Universal Wastes we collect are recovered, recycled and reused.
Our customized client programs for recovering Universal Waste include all training, packaging, labeling and documentation.
