Universal Waste Destination Facilities

Facilities that treat, dispose of, or recycle universal waste are called universal waste destination facilities. At this stage, except for two additional requirements, the universal waste is subject to all of the RCRA regulations that we have discussed prior to this unit of the course. As you have learned, these regulations include permit requirements, general facility standards, and unit-specific standards.

The two additional requirements that pertain specifically to universal waste are as follows:

• Procedures for rejecting shipments of universal waste
• Documentation of the receipt of universal waste
