2. Waste Disposal – General Awareness
Universal Waste: A special waste classification (U.S.) which includes batteries, pesticides, mercury-containment equipment, and lamps.

3. Universal Waste
Please contact Facilities or EHS if you have Universal Waste that needs to be disposed of.
Marshall collects several different types of universal waste
Used Batteries
Used Capacitors and Ballasts
Used Electric Lamps
Used Electronic Waste

4. Regulatory Requirements: Universal Waste – Container Management
Batteries
Prevent release(s) to the environment
In a container if leaking
Lamps
Structurally sound container
Remain closed
No evidence of leakage/spillage or damage

5. Regulatory Requirements: Universal Waste – Accumulation Time
Generally 1-Year from Initial Accumulation
Marshall removes universal waste on an annual basis
Accumulation Time Verification
The label must be marked with the accumulation start date
Labeling
Containers must be clearly labeled with what type of waste they contain

6. Waste Disposal – General Awareness
Hazardous Waste: A solid of liquid waste that exhibits any characteristic of hazardous waste such as ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, toxicity by regulatory definition or listed as hazardous waste.

7. Waste Disposal – General Awareness
Industrial Waste: A solid or liquid waste that is not hazardous or toxic by regulatory definition.

8. Waste Disposal – General Awareness
Galesburg & Marshall Facilities are considered a Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG)
Generate in calendar month less than 220 pounds of non-acute hazardous waste.
Generate in a calendar month 2.2 pounds or less of acutely toxic of severely toxic hazardous waste.
Accumulate less than 2,200 pounds of non-acute hazardous waste and less than 2.2 pounds of acutely toxic or severely toxic hazardous waste.

9. Waste Streams General trash & cafeteria Card board Wood pallets
Co-mingled plastic, metal, & glass
Plastics
Toner cartridges
Metal
Flammable liquid waste
Parts washer solvent
Batteries
Used cooking oil
Sharps – Blood-contaminated material

10. Waste Streams
Complete Marshall Waste Stream Summary found on EHS SharePoint
Category 04 Waste; Document 04.00a
Do not mix waste streams
Example: trash mixed in oily rags bin

11. Disposal Guidance
Items placed in the trash can create environmental, health and safety impacts. Some general guidance as follows:
Sharp Objects – throwing away items with sharp or jagged edges can create a hazard for those who handle waste containers.
Chemical Wastes – chemicals require waste approvals. Prior to throwing chemicals away, please review local waste guidance or contact site EHS personnel.
Medical Wastes – Our sites provide sharps containers in restrooms for syringes. Additionally, other medical wastes, such as blood require trained personnel for handling and placement into appropriate containers with labeling.
Weight – over weighted containers can result in injuries. If you have heavy materials to dispose of, please contact EHS or facilities to assist.

12. Waste Management Expectations
All byproducts must be identified as either non-hazardous waste or hazardous waste in accordance with country and local regulations.
All waste containers must be appropriate for the material being stored.
The generation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste should be minimized wherever possible.
All hazardous waste must be:
Labeled appropriately,
Have a lid or seal in place (properly contained)
Generation / fill date(s)
Segregated according to waste stream
Accessible for visual inspection

13. Waste Management Expectations
All associates that handle or generate waste must be knowledgeable on how to manage it.
Spill or release response and planning must be included as part of emergency preparedness plans including:
Notifications (contacts in the event of release)
Response equipment: spill kits and PPE
Preventive measures and plans
Shipping documentation and labeling required upon shipment of hazardous waste.
Storage of waste must minimize exposure to precipitation and weather events to protect waste containers.

14. Waste Management Expectations
Flammable/combustible containers must be properly grounded/bonded during transfer.
Example: diesel fuel
Bonding equalizes spark potential of each container

15. Recycling Awareness
Recycling opportunities at our sites include paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, metals, wood, batteries, electronics, toner cartridges, oil, and spent solvent
We have designated central locations for employee recycling
Recycling helps us to minimize material sent off site to disposal facilities

16. Zero Waste to Landfill - Definition
Eaton defines “zero waste-to-landfill” as consistently achieving a landfill waste diversion rate of 98 percent through either reuse, composting, recycling, or incineration – but only if the heat generated by incineration is collected and used in order to create more energy than was required for the incineration process.
An audit process verifies that at least 98% of site’s waste is diverted consistently.
