Universal Waste


Universal Waste Management
What Is Universal Waste?
Universal waste includes hazardous materials that require proper management to prevent contamination and health risks. By incorporating safe and compliant waste disposal practices, we help protect public health, the environment, and regulatory integrity in every project.
Fluorescent Lamps & Mercury-Containing Devices
Found in older buildings, including thermostats, switches, and relays.
Lead-Containing Materials & Batteries
Includes lead-acid batteries, lead-painted surfaces, and industrial lead-coated materials.
Electronic Waste (E-Waste) & PCB Ballasts
Electrical components such as circuit boards, control panels, and light ballasts containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Pesticides & Chemical Waste
Hazardous chemicals from industrial and institutional properties may include asbestos, lead, PCBs, mercury, solvents, adhesives, paints, fuel residues, refrigerants, corrosive cleaners, compressed gases, lab reagents, and photographic chemicals.
Aerosols & Solvents
Commonly found in construction and abatement projects, including spray cans, cleaning agents, and chemical coatings.
