Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed a rule adding aerosol cans to the federal list of materials eligible to be handled as universal wastes (UW), regulated under title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 273. The rule will become effective in Iowa on February 7, 2020. EPA’s universal waste regulations streamline the hazardous waste management standards for certain categories of hazardous waste that are commonly generated by a wide variety of establishments. The rule promotes the collection and recycling of universal waste, eases the regulatory burden on retail stores and other generators that wish to collect these wastes and transporters of these wastes, and encourages programs to reduce the quantity of these wastes going to municipal solid waste landfills or combustors.
