The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) universal waste program streamlines the hazardous waste management standards for certain categories of hazardous waste that are commonly generated by a wide variety of establishments. These regulations apply to five types of universal waste: batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment, lamps and aerosol cans.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed the final Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule (HWGIR) on Oct. 28, 2016, and it was published in the Federal Register (FR) on Nov. 28, 2016.
The rule improves the entire hazardous waste generator program to strengthen environmental protection while ensuring businesses have the flexibility and certainty they need to successfully operate.
- Company celebrates one-year anniversary of acquiring Stericycle’s Environmental Solutions business (ESOL).
- More than 80-percent of Harsco’s total revenue now comes from environmental solutions and services, up from about 60-percent just three years ago.

- Clean Earth develops innovative solution for the disposal and recycling of hand sanitizer amid the pandemic.
- Company implements sustainable, alternative end results for expired, recalled or off-spec hand sanitizers.
The Aerosols as Universal Waste Rule went into effect on Feb. 7, 2020. Because adding aerosols to the universal waste program makes the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations less stringent than they were before, states are not required to adopt the new rule. However, we believe most, if not all, states will ultimately adopt the Aerosols as Universal Waste Rule.
On November 28, 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a rule that finalizes a much-needed update to the hazardous waste generator regulations to make the rules easier to understand, facilitate better compliance, provide greater flexibility in how hazardous waste is managed, and close important gaps in the regulations.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized regulations for “Increasing Recycling: Adding Aerosol Cans to the Universal Waste Regulations” on Nov. 15, 2019, and published them in the Federal Register on Dec. 9, 2019.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule that revises the hazardous waste generator regulations by making them simpler to understand and offering enhanced flexibility in how hazardous waste is managed to better fit today's business operations. The revisions also protect Americans by enhancing the safety of facilities that create hazardous waste and the response capabilities of emergency responders by improving risk communication.
- The specialty waste processing company successfully removed obsolete, chlorinated organic compounds from a U.S. Department of Defense site in Northwest Florida.
- With a focus on sustainability, Clean Earth prevents 22,500 truckloads of contaminated soil from entering landfills, while preserving existing natural resources.
Delaware is the 13th state as well as the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico to adopt the Aerosols as Universal Waste Rule. The rule will go into effect in Delaware on Jan. 21, 2021.
Delaware is the latest state to adopt the Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule (HWGIR). “The First State” joins 33 additional states and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico in adopting the rule, which will go into effect on Jan. 21, 2021. As we kick off the New Year, there continues to be progress in the remaining states moving toward the adoption of the HWGIR.
The following states have anticipated rulemaking after July 1, 2021:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized regulations (“Increasing Recycling: Adding Aerosol Cans to the Universal Waste Regulations”) on Nov. 15, 2019, and published them in the Federal Register on Dec. 9, 2019. These regulations allow for the management of hazardous aerosol can wastes under the universal waste portion of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste rules (40 CFR 273).
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a rule on Nov. 28, 2016, that finalized a necessary update to the hazardous waste generator regulations, thus making the rules easier to interpret and facilitating greater compliance, enhanced flexibility in how hazardous waste is managed, and closing essential gaps in the regulations.
- Clean Earth processed nearly 1 Million cans each month in 2020 and expects to reach 13 Million by the end of the year, setting a new Company record.
- Clean Earth will be expanding capabilities to meet growing demand adding to the Company’s vast specialty waste network.
Clean Earth ranks as one of the top hazardous waste providers on the Engineering News-Record (ENR) annual Top 600 Specialty Contractors list, which ranks specialty contractors across the U.S. by year-end construction-specific revenue and categorizes the companies by the type of construction services provided. This is the 10thconsecutive year that Clean Earth has been recognized on the prestigious list.
Proper disposal of hazardous waste is always essential, but particularly during a global public health crisis. Though changes to business operations may be unprecedented, compliance is still essential: a national emergency does not provide blanket relief to environmental regulations.

BANNOCKBURN, Ill., Feb. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, federal and state agencies have clarified procedures around enforcing waste management protocols. The bottom line? Despite a national emergency, compliance with environmental regulations is still expected
We recently held a webinar around waste management protocols and enforcement. Below, we’ve highlighted key points to keep you up-to-date.
Waste Management Protocols
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is ending the enforcement discretion policy it put into place in March in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. On Aug. 31, 2020, the EPA will return to pre-COVID enforcement guidelines, and any non-compliance from that point on will not benefit from the discretionary terms of the temporary policy.
With decades of experience implementing the hazardous waste generator regulatory program and working with states and other stakeholders, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) noticed inconsistencies and a lack of flexibility in the regulations. In response, the EPA’s final Hazardous Waste Generator Rule was put into effect, providing needed flexibility, improvements of environmental protection and the addressment of gaps in existing regulations.
Consumer commodities refers to products produced for retail applications made of or containing chemicals categorized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as hazardous. These include items like drain cleaners, perfumes, small arms ammunition, aerosol cans and many other products. While these products may be safely used in households, the materials they contain pose a potential environmental hazard if allowed to be disposed of alongside regular municipal trash.
