FYI – during our waste characterization of Selsun Blue we noticed some formulations contain Pyrithione Zinc as the active ingredient instead of Selenium Sulfide.  The formulations containing  Pyrithione Zinc as the active ingredient are not RCRA hazardous.  Don’t assume all Selsun Blue is RCRA hazardous when being discarded (non-consumer).

Fred, 
Recently I had a discussion with folks at DOE.  Selenium is "hazardous waste" so I asked what was the scoop on Selsun Blue etc.  It is fine for an individual to have bottles of it but if a community event collects them then it is hazardous.  There is a lot that is confusing.
