Waste requirements found at 40 CFR part 273, and the Mixed Waste
conditional exemptions found at 40 CFR part 266. Universal Wastes
are batteries, pesticides, thermostats, and lamps.They are RCRA
hazardous wastes with streamlined handling requirements, since they
are generated by a vast, primarily non-industrial community. Mixed
Wastes are hazardous wastes mixed with low-level radioactive
wastes. They are exempted from RCRA treatment, storage,
transportation, and disposal requirements, provided they comply
with existing Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations.
