In 2005, EPA added Mercury-Containing Equipment (MCE) to the universal waste program. Under universal waste, handlers of MCE must follow the requirements in 40 CFR Part 273 for accumulating MCE and sending them for treatment or disposal. Treatment and disposal requirements for MCE were unchanged by the 2005 rule. Alternatively, a generator of MCE may manage these materials within the RCRA subtitle C regulatory scheme (Part 262) .
