• RECEIVED JUL 31 2015 Universal Waste Aerosol Cans Operating Procedure ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Facility Name: J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. PERMIT/SERVICES Facility Address: 2660/2710 Loomis Road, Stockton, CA 95205 Section 1: Handling Universal Waste Aerosol Cans Aerosol cans are not hazardous waste when they have been emptied of their contents. Once empty, aerosol cans can be disposed of as solid waste(put them in the trash) or recycle them as scrap metal. Non-empty aerosol cans may be hazardous wastes depending upon their content. The manufacture's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)will indicate if the aerosol can's product or propellant are hazardous. Today most aerosol cans use a hydrocarbon propellant, which are very flammable. Non-empty aerosol cans are typically discarded when:the spray mechanism no longer works;the propellant is exhausted;the owner decides that they no longer want the product. If the aerosol can contains pressurized contents that may explode when heated, if the propellant is ignitable or toxic, or if the product itself is ignitable, corrosive, or toxic,then the non-empty aerosol can is a hazardous waste. Universal waste aerosol cans(un-emptied) can be accumulated on site for up to one year prior to their processing or sending off site for disposal. Manage the universal waste aerosol cans in a manner and in equipment designed to prevent fire, explosion, and unauthorized releases to the environment. Section 2: Storing Universal Waste Aerosol Cans Accumulate and transport universal waste aerosol cans in containers that are structurally sound, and compatible with the contents of the can, and show no evidence of leaks, spills, or damage that could cause leaks. Universal waste aerosol cans and waste drained from them will be stored in Packaging Group I, Steel Drums. Prior to universal waste aerosol can storage and processing, evaluate the cans' product and propellant contents for compatibility and suitability for commingling (see Tables 1-1 thru 1-5 in Aerosolv Model 28222 Aerosol Can Recycling System manual). Assessment of this facility's typical monthly generation of universal waste aerosol cans found that they typically consist of the following products: paints; lubricants; adhesives;halocarbon solvents;and alkaline cleaners. The alkaline cleaners are not compatible with the paints, lubricants, adhesives and halocarbon solvents; therefore these two groups require separate storage for both their universal waste aerosol cans and emptied can contents. Note that J.B. Hunt Transport typically does not store universal waste aerosol cans on site. The universal waste aerosol cans are typically processed in the recycling system when their use is completed.
