Correctly Using Absorbent (or kitty litter) <br /> When processing waste, add absorbent to a bag only when there's liquid to absorb. Do not add <br /> absorbent if the item is not leaking. <br /> Never add absorbent or litter to a dry or solid product such as bar soap, powdered detergent, <br /> or electronics. To stop a leak when processing a damaged product: <br /> • Check that the cap or lid is tight. <br /> • If the cap/lid is missing, wrap packing tape around the <br /> very top of the container only. <br /> • Place packing tape over a cut in a container or product. <br /> Bagging Leakers with Absorbent or Kitty Litter <br /> 1. Place the waste item in an upright position in a self-sealing plastic bag. Use a bag large <br /> enough to accommodate both the item and the absorbent. <br /> 2. Add absorbent to the bag to absorb free liquid. Let the bag sit for a few minutes. <br /> 3. If the absorbent is completely saturated, add a little more. When you can see a layer of dry <br /> absorbent along the top of the absorbent, the amount should be sufficient. <br /> 4. Always double-bag leaking product. <br /> 5. Place the double-bagged item in an upright position, in the appropriate tote. <br /> Double-bag all "leakers." <br /> Hazardous Waste Quick Reference Guide 7 May 2019 <br />
