UNIVERSAL WASTE - REQUIREMENTS EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 9, 2006
Mr. Fauth presented a fact sheet on Managing Universal Waste in
California and requirements effective February 9, 2006. Universal wastes
are hazardous wastes that are more common and pose a lower risk to
people and the environment than other hazardous wastes. Fluorescent
tubes pose the biggest problem. Staff will address the issue with Donna
Theriault, Recycling Coordinator for the City of Costa Mesa and will invite
her to the next Recycling Committee meeting to present the solution posed
by the multi - family trash haulers in the City. Staff will also contact CR
Transfer to ascertain how they are handling universal waste. CR Transfer
has previously stated to the District that they are already in compliance with
the new law for all trash collected in the District.
