   Destination facilities are facilities that treat, dispose of, or recycle universal waste.  They must meet all Dangerous Waste Regulation requirements for treatment, disposal (TSD) facilities (sections 800 through 840) or recycling facilities (section120(4)(c)), except for manifesting.  If universal waste is only accumulated at a facility because that facility is generating the waste or acting as a collection center, it is not a destination facility for purposes of managing that category of universal waste.  Such a facility must comply with the appropriate universal waste handler requirements.  Destination facilities must retain the same records for receipt of universal waste shipments as those kept by Large Quantity Handlers of Universal Waste (LQHUW).  A destination facility may reject a shipment by shipping the waste back to the original shipper or both may agree to a new destination facility.
