The new rules tighten regulations on hazardous lamps, including fluorescent light bulbs containing mercury, according to a release from the Ohio EPA.
Lamp recyclers are now required to obtain a hazardous waste storage permit, and generators, owners or operators of hazardous lamp collection sites are subject to hazardous waste management standards.
