Disposing of Tape Cartridges
Under the current rules of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
regulation 40CFR261, the LTO Ultrium Tape Cartridge is classified as
non-hazardous waste. As such, it may be disposed of in the same way as normal
office trash. These regulations are amended from time to time, and you should
review them at the time of disposal.
If your local, state, country (non-U.S.A.), or regional regulations are more
restrictive than EPA 40CFR261, you must review them before you dispose of a
cartridge. Contact your account representative for information about the materials
that are in the cartridge.
If a tape cartridge must be disposed of in a secure manner, you can erase the data
on the cartridge by using a high-energy ac degausser (use a minimum of 1200
oersted peak field over the entire space that the cartridge occupies). Degaussing
makes the cartridge unusable.
If you burn the cartridge and tape, ensure that the incineration complies with all
applicable regulations.
