Universal wastes are a unique class of hazardous wastes and subject to less burdensome requirements. On December 8, 2017, Ohio EPA adopted Ohio-specific universal waste rules allowing hazardous non-empty aerosol containers, hazardous antifreeze, hazardous paint and hazardous paint-related wastes to be classified and managed as a universal waste in Ohio. The rules were effective on December 21, 2017. The rules can be found in Chapter 3745-273 of the Ohio Administrative Code. This webinar provided a brief review of the universal waste rules and addressed several more complex aspects of the rules such as out-state-transportation, waste evaluation, disposal or recycling, and waste classification of residuals from treatment or recycling of universal wastes.

Presenter: Karen Hale, Ohio EPA, Division of Environmental Response and Revitalization (DERR).
