1. Waste Management The overall objective of this module is that participants will show awareness of waste management and transportation requirements

2. Overview General principles for safe acceptance of household hazardous and/or CESQG waste from the public, which includes: receiving, sorting, storing, marking/labeling, packing, transporting, and final disposal of waste Understand the DOT, CFR, and UN transportation requirements

3. Expectations List the seven steps in the waste management process List the main classes of hazardous materials and how they should be sorted and stored Identify the proper selection, marking/labeling, and handling of containers of hazardous waste

4. 7 Steps in Waste Management Process Collecting Wastes Sorting Storing Marking/Labeling Packing Transporting Final Disposal

5. Collecting Wastes Minimum standards –Customer restrictions –Waste restrictions –Container restrictions –Contents identified –Compatibilities of waste –Restricted areas

6. Collecting Wastes Guidelines –Load Inspection –Unloading

7. Collecting Wastes Inspection –Visually inspect the containers before removing to ensure integrity –Note unusual circumstances such as large volumes or items not likely to be household waste

8. Collecting Wastes Identifying and Dealing with Exceptions –Commercial wastes –Universal waste –Waste oil drums and oil filters –Open and leaking containers –Unlabeled / unknown items –Waste left outside of facility –Waste from farms

9. Collecting Wastes Identifying and Dealing with Exceptions –Infectious waste –Ammunition and explosives –Bombs / Unknown Packages –Critically unstable chemicals –Asbestos –Nonhazardous waste

10. Suspected Commercial Wastes Brought in a commercial vehicle Large amounts of the same item Items not normally for residential use Product of a business; home business

11. Collecting Wastes Universal Wastes –Considerations for managing UW under UWR standards Whether state has adopted UWR and additional waste added to UW list Whether want to receive commercial UW What quantity of UW you will receive and manage

12. Collecting Wastes Universal Wastes –Batteries –Mercury thermostats –Pesticides

13. Collecting Wastes Waste Reuse/ Exchange –Inspect containers for integrity and contents –No reuse Recalled, canceled or suspended material Material in containers which are damaged, rusted or labels are unreadable

14. Sorting Preliminary sorting Waste oil Testing waste oil for contamination Flames test Commercial test kits Bulking waste oil Pumping waste oil from barrels

15. Sorting Preliminary Sorting –Aerosols –Antifreeze –Car batteries –Unknown waste –Waste oil –Testing waste oil for contamination –Flame test –Commercial test kits

16. Classification Process Read the labels Clues –Plastic or plastic-lined containers -used for acids or bases –Exotic metals - extremely dangerous –Single-walled containers - inert gas surrounding reactive, flammable or explosive material –Seal - reactive chemical or one which can not be exposed to air, water, or other chemicals –Cohesive solid in a liquid - material reactive with air or water –“Forbidden” - No transportation unless has been diluted, stabilized or incorporated into a device

17. Classification Process Color-coded labels and caps –green - ammonium hydroxide –brown - acetic acid –red - nitric acid –yellow - sulfuric acid –blue - hydrochloric acid –black - perchloric acid

18. Sorting Nine DOT hazard classes –Explosives –Gases –Flammable liquids –Flammable solids –Oxidizers –Poisons –Radioactive –Corrosives –Class 9

19. Sorting Precedence of Hazard –Radioactive –Poisonous gases –Flammable gases –Nonflammable gases –Poisonous liquids –Pyrophoric material –Self-reactive material

20. Sorting –Class 3- Flammable liquids –Class 8- Corrosive materials –Division 4.1- Flammable solids –Division 4.2- Spontaneously combustible materials –Division 4.3- Dangerous when wet materials –Division 5.1- Oxidizers –Division 6.1- Poisonous materials –Combustible liquids –Miscellaneous hazardous materials

21. Storing Proper labeling on storage cabinet, containers Compatibilities Check reactivity within Hazard Classes

22. Marking/Labeling Proper Shipping Name (PSN) Selecting a Package Drum Preparation Marking Labels State Hazardous Waste Stickers Drum ID Number

23. Proper Shipping Name (PSN) Priority for selection: –Chemical Name, e.g., “Methyl Alcohol” –Generic Name (Chemical Family), e.g., “Alcohol’s, n.o.s.” –End Use of Material, e.g., “Paint Related Materials” –The n.o.s. End Use, e.g., “Dyes, Liquid, n.o.s.” –DOT Class of Hazard, e.g., “Flammable Liquids, n.o.s.”

24. Selecting a Package Package must meet design and performance standards- “performance-based packaging” Limited quantity (LMTD QTY)

25. Drum Preparation New or reconditioned and acceptable to DOT Empty Cover, securing ring and / or bung and gaskets Drums used for lab packs must be lined with a 6 ml polyethylene liner Drums with liquids inside containers must be marked on two opposite vertical sides of the package with the arrows pointing in the correct upright direction Marked on 2 sides - This side up

26. Marking Proper shipping name ID number Address of the shipper or recipient English Durable Of contrasting color with background Away from other markings Easy to see

27. Labels Diamond shaped Indicate the hazard class and division of a material Placed near proper shipping name and ID#s

28. State Hazardous Waste Stickers “Accumulation Start Date” “Hazard Class” “Hazardous Waste” - upper one-third of the drum Labels on two sides (upper third) and the top of the drum

29. Drum ID Number Assign a serial number

30. Packing Lab Pack Incompatible material Drum inventory Loose Pack Consolidation

31. Packing Lab pack –Extensive training –Nonleaking containers –Compatible with waste it is holding –Appropriately placed in the lab pack protecting them from breakage, rupture or leaks

32. Packing Incompatible Material –Nitric acid should not be placed in a drum with acetic acid –Cyanides and sulfides should never be placed with acids –Acids and bases should not be packed in the same drum –Ammonia solutions should never be packed with bleach –Oxidizers should not be placed with flammables or corrosives

33. Packing Drum Inventory –Inventory sheets Trade name or major chemical ingredient List liquids by volume List solids by weight

34. Packing Loose Pack –Packed for short-term transport –Aerosols packed without absorbents –Nonleaking and tightly sealed containers –Leaking and damaged containers - Placed in a nonleaking container

35. Packing Consolidation –Oil-Based Paint for Energy Recovery Flammable liquid label Hazardous waste sticker Grounding Secure to structure

36. Packing Consolidation –Pesticides Same generic name and chemical constituents Appropriate personal protective equipment Containers emptied and disposed of properly

37. Transporting Shipping papers Emergency response information Emergency response guidebook (1996) Placards Loading, moving, and unloading Training

38. Shipping Papers Shipper and receiver identification –Package type and count –Hazard material description (proper shipping name, hazard class, ID number, other information) –Total quantity –Emergency response information –Shipper’s certification –Signature

39. Emergency Response Information 24-hr contact number operated by knowledgeable person Description and technical name of the hazardous material Immediate hazards to health Risks of fire or explosion

40. Emergency Response Information Immediate precautions to be taken in the event of an accident or incident Immediate methods for handling fires Initial methods for handling spill or leaks in the absence of fire Preliminary first aid measures
