6 Colo. Code Regs. § 1007-3-273.1

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 20, October 25, 2024

Section 6 CCR 1007-3-273.1 - Scope

(a) This part establishes requirements for managing the following:

(1) Batteries as described in § 273.2(a);

(2) Pesticides as described in § 273.2(b);

(3) Mercury-containing devices as described in § 273.2(c);

(4) Aerosol cans as described in § 273.2(d);

(5) Lamps as described in § 273.2(e) and

(6) Electronic devices and electronic components as described in § 273.2(f).

(b) The Part 273 Universal Waste Regulations provide an alternative set of management standards that a generator can choose to follow in lieu of regulation under Parts 260 through 268, and Parts 99 and 100 of these regulations. The Part 273 regulations are designed to reduce the regulatory burden on facilities that generate these wastes while at the same time reducing the amount of hazardous waste illegally sent to municipal solid waste landfills. If a waste handler chooses to manage its universal waste under the Part 273 regulations, but fails to meet those requirements, the waste handler remains subject to, and must comply with, all applicable requirements of the Colorado Hazardous Waste Regulations (6 CCR 1007-3), Parts 260 through 268, 99 and 100.

Note: Only wastes that are hazardous (i.e., are listed or exhibit one or more characteristics of hazardous waste) are subject to the Part 273 universal waste regulations. Compliance with the reduced set of Part 273 requirements is an option that waste handlers may choose for managing their universal wastes (batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing devices, aerosol cans, lamps, electronic devices and electronic components). If universal waste handlers wish, they may instead continue to manage these hazardous wastes under the full hazardous waste regulations for generators, transporters, and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities.
