Universal Waste (UW) is a term used for a group of hazardous wastes that many of us come across in our daily lives, whether at home or in businesses. In Hawaii, universal waste includes batteries, fluorescent lamps, aerosol cans, solar panels, electronic items, mercury-containing devices (such as thermostats), and certain pesticides. Because these types of hazardous waste are so common, there are special rules in place to make managing them safely easier for generators (chapter 11-273.1, HAR).
