JACKSONVILLE – The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Northeast

hazardous waste and the storage of used oil on Friday, Jan. 16 in
Jacksonville.
Topics discussed will include hazardous waste identification,
universal waste regulations, used oil and used-oil filter management
standards. This training is an example of the department’s continued efforts to

environmental compliance throughout the state.
Hazardous waste is a discarded substance that because of its
concentration, physical or chemical characteristics may pose a hazard to
human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, disposed or
transported. Common regulated wastes at businesses may include solvents,
paints, corrosives, spent batteries, used oil and used-oil filters.
Space is limited, so the department recommends registering
