The state of Ohio is considering adding spent antifreeze and non-empty aerosol cans to the Universal Waste List
The Universal Waste List (UWL) currently applies to batteries, mercury containing equipment, certain pesticides and lamps. The Universal Waste Rules (UWR) are optional; a generator or handler of a waste, designated as a Universal Waste, has the option of handling the waste according to the UWR or the traditional hazardous waste rule.
Midwest Environmental Services, Inc. owns and operates a secure facility to manage the current Universal Waste and traditional hazardous waste. Spent antifreeze and non-empty aerosol cans, if added to the UWL, would be entered into the Midwest Environmental Services, Inc. recycling program.
If you would like to know more about current and proposed Universal Waste Rules, please contact a Midwest Environmental Services, Inc. representative at 513-681-9990.
