However, according to a color-coded document titled "Products to be Treated as Hazardous Waste"found in the HW storage area, all hand sanitizers are to be placed in the Aerosols, Flammables, and Combustibles(AF) HW tote(IMG 5320).Annalyn placed the hand sanitizer into an AF HW tote. -A full container of Assured Freshing Mint Mouthwash was found in an STOU HW tote(IMG 5297, 5303). However, according to the"Products to be Treated as Hazardous Waste"document, mouth wash is to be placed in the AF HW tote(IMG 5321).Annalyn placed the mouth wash into an AF HW tote. -A Dollar Tree basket containing 38 bottles of Nature's Measure Glucosamine Joint Therapy tablets, 31 of which had a best buy date of 7/7/2018 and 7 of which had a best buy date of March 2019,was found in an area of the stock room located behind the hazardous waste storage area (see IMG 5306-8, 5311, 5313, 5317).The bottle labels provided Supplemental Facts.According to Annalyn Mamaradlo, store manager, she suspected an employee removed the bottles from the sales shelf since they were expired, but did not determine what to do with the bottles. According to page 13 of Dollar Tree's California Training Guide on Hazardous Waste Handling and Processing Procedures, "any waste product whose label provides"Drug Facts"or"Supplemental Facts"must be managed as STOU, regardless of the product's ingredients."Annalyn placed the bottles into two hazardous waste bags and into an STOU HW tote(IMG 5316, 5318). -An empty container of LA's Totally Awesome Bleach was found on the ground adjacent the facility's mop sink. Annalyn scanned the barcode on the bleach and the hand-held scanner prompted her to place the item into the Oxidizers(OX)HW tote(IMG 5327-30).Annalyn placed the empty bleach container in a bag and into the OX HW tote. -A Dollar Tree Potentially Hazardous Material Management poster was found posted on the wall behind the HW storage area, but was blocked by store supplies on the top shelf of the HW storage area(IMG 5322-3). -When asked how employees determine which HW tote an item should be placed in when the hand-held scanner, the HW labels, and the"Products to be Treated as Hazardous Waste"document do not provide a HW determination for the item,Annalyn was not familiar with the Potentially Hazardous Material Management poster posted behind the HW storage area, nor was she familiar with the phone number listed on the poster to call in case questions came up.Annalyn was also not familiar with how to access product Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) electronically through Dollar Tree's computer portal, nor by calling Dollar Tree's MSDS vendor, as indicated on page 11 of Dollar Tree's California Training Guide on Hazardous Waste Handling and Processing Procedures. The generator must ensure that all employees who handle hazardous waste are thoroughly familiar with proper waste handling and emergency procedures. Provide proof of re-training and the training materials to the EHD for employees whose responsibilities include hazardous waste. This is a Class II violation.
