In some instances, we found Pyrithione Zinc as the sole active ingredient in
"Selsun Blue" and "Selsun Salon" shampoos. It is important not to make the
waste characterization based solely on the product name. Take in
consideration what form the drug comes in and any changes in formulation.

Was that a variant Selsun Gold?

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.
