Laws adopted since 2000 created California's "Universal Waste Rule" that changes how common household wastes that may contain hazardous materials are managed.
The Universal Waste Rule bans the landfilling of common household products that were commonly thrown out with the household garbage because they are now considered hazardous.
Examples of Universal Waste include: paint, motor oil and filters, antifreeze, consumer electronic devices, batteries, fluorescent light tubes including Compact fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), major appliances, mercury switches, and nonempty aerosol cans among others.
These wastes contain hazardous components that may be released when the material is crushed or compacted.
In addition, the rule requires that these materials be processed to remove the hazardous components and recycled.
The "Universal Waste Rule" went into effect on February 9, 2006.
These wastes contain hazardous components that may be released when the material is crushed or compacted.
