The Commonwealth of PA requires that all waste falling under the “universal waste” category be disposed of properly. Unlike federal regulations, Pennsylvania does not exempt any waste generator from following proper recycling regulations. In other words, no matter how much universal waste you generate – just a few boxes or several skids — you are required to follow PA recycling laws. While new eco-friendly products fall below the mandatory recycling mercury level, local municipalities have limited the number of these items that can lawfully be disposed of in municipal waste. Please check with your local officials for requirements. Visit the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection website for more information.
