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

  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
