Based on the types of violations observed,the facility employees are not trained on proper hazardous waste(HW) handling or the training provided has been inadequate. According to Annalyn Mamaradlo, store manager, all employees are provided HW training, however employees in management positions are responsible for processing damages using the hand-held scanner,which includes determining which HW tote an item should be placed in. The following observations were made in the HW storage area: -A 64 oz container of LA's Totally Awesome Laundry Detergent was found 1/4 full, bagged with absorbent and paper towels, marked with a date of 4/9 and initialed "as,"and in a State-Regulated, Toxics, Electronics, OTC Pharmaceuticals, Universal Waste(STOU)HW tote(IMG 5288-9).When Annalyn Mamaradlo, store manager, scanned the UPC on the container,the hand-held scanner prompted her to place the detergent into the STOU HW tote(IMG 5290).When asked what happened to the rest of the liquid that was in the container,Annalyn stated the detergent spilled and was cleaned up today by Amanda Sodders,freight manager.When asked how she cleaned up the spill,Amanda stated she used two bags of kitty litter to absorb the liquid, and placed the used kitty litter into the trash.The used absorbent and the two empty 4.5 Ib cat litter bags were found in a trash can adjacent the HW storage area (IMG 5291-2).Amanda stated she put some unused kitty litter and paper towels into the bag with the container to absorb any liquid that may leak from the container.Amanda also stated that she placed the used kitty litter into the trash, rather than into a HW tote, because employees are told to minimize the amount of items, and in turn the amount of weight, placed into the HW totes in order to reduce costs.Annalyn and Amanda stated they would remove the used absorbent from the trash and place it into an STOU HW tote. -According to page 14 of Dollar Tree's California Training Guide on Hazardous Waste Handling and Processing Procedures, "as waste is placed in [a hazardous waste tote],the type of waste being added must be checked off the label."The following HW totes did not have the contents and/or the physical state marked on the label: -A State-Regulated,Toxics, Electronics, OTC Pharmaceuticals, Universal Waste (STOU) HW tote label,with accumulation start date 3/29/19,was marked solid for the physical state and did not have the contents marked (IMG 5288).The tote contained the following: -A partially filled container of LA's Totally Awesome Laundry Detergent(liquid) bagged with absorbent and paper towels(IMG 5289). -A Renuzit Scent Swirls air freshener(IMG 5293). -A wax prayer candle(IMG 5294). -Five squishy toys, each containing an electronic light(IMG 5295). Annalyn placed the liquid detergent into an STOU HW tote that had the physical state marked as liquid. -An STOU HW tote label, marked with accumulation start date 3/28/19, did not have the contents marked (IMG 5297).The tote contained the following: -An empty container of Xtra Care Hand Sanitizer(IMG 5299). -An empty container of Lysol Clean and Fresh multi-surface cleaner bagged with a small amount of absorbent (IMG 5300-1). -A full container of Assured Freshing Mint Mouthwash (IMG 5303). -An Oxidizers HW tote label,with accumulation start date 3/29/19, did not have the physical state nor the contents marked (IMG 5304).The tote contained the following: -a full container of Mister Plumber Drain Opener(IMG 5305).
