Glossary <br /> Several UW terms are defined in the Dangerous Waste Regulations,including the following: <br /> battery, destination facility,lamps,large quantity handler of UW,mercury-containing <br /> equipment,small quantity handler of UW, thermostat,UW,UW handler,UW transfer facility, <br /> and UW transporter. Although many of these terms have been defined in the above <br /> discussion, for convenience several are defined below. <br /> "Universal waste handler" means a generator of UW;or the owner or operator of a facility, <br /> including all contiguous property,that receives UW from other UW handlers,accumulates <br /> UW,and sends UW to another UW handler,to a destination facility, or to a foreign <br /> destination. <br /> "Small quantity handler of universal waste"means a UW handler who does not accumulate <br /> 11,000 pounds or more total of UW(batteries,thermostats,mercury-containing equipment and <br /> lamps,calculated collectively)and/or who does not accumulate more than 2,200 pounds of <br /> lamps at any time. <br /> "Large quantity handler of universal waste" means a UW handler who accumulates 11,000 <br /> pounds or more total of UW (batteries, thermostats,mercury-containing equipment and <br /> lamps,calculated collectively) and/or who accumulates more than 2,200 pounds of lamps at <br /> any time. This designation as a large quantity handler of UW is retained through the end of <br /> the calendar year in which 11,000 pounds or more total of UW and/or 2,200 pounds of lamps <br /> are accumulated. <br /> "Transporters"transport the lamps between handlers, or to a destination facility. Both <br /> SQHUW's and LQHUW's may self-transport UW. <br /> "Destination facilities"recycle the lamps,or provide treatment, storage and disposal to a <br /> dangerous waste landfill. A facility that only accumulates UW is not considered a destination <br /> facility. <br /> For More Information <br /> Questions on this topic may be directed to your nearest regional office Dangerous Waste <br /> Specialist. <br /> 4G1 <br /> "!9)1 '" <br /> CENIRAL <br /> 4 (428)449.7000 <br /> ;R6fiNlN. „R„,„,7 <br /> (509)575-2490 I(509)329-3400 <br /> 8fCM <br /> (300)4078300 <br /> If you need this information in an alternate format,please call the Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction Program at <br /> 360-407-6700.
