absorbent. Use of an absorbent: ■ Absorbent used for compactor or baler hydraulic oil spills should be disposed of in the Toxic bin. ■ Absorbent used for Perfumes, cleaners, and other hazardous waste spills must be placed in the appropriate waste bin. ■ Non-hazardous waste spills that use absorbent can be placed in the trash. ■ The absorbent needs to be able to solidify all loose liquid in the bag. Depending on the volume of loose liquid it typically needs to be about 40%-60% of the volume of the total bag. • Example — A broken bottle of perfume must be in a bag by itself with enough absorbent to soak up any leaking perfume and then placed in the Toxic bin (not the Aerosols & Flammables). • Items that are too big to fit into a plastic bag may be kept in their original packaging and then placed in the appropriate bin. o Example — A MOOS on an electronic device which is too big to fit in a bag may be sorted into the Universal Waste bin in its original packaging. • Damaged items that may be exposed or leaking and are too big to fit into a plastic bag must be put in a cardboard box, labeled and sealed shut with packing tape. o Example —A large iHome entertainment system arrives damaged off of the truck. Put the item in a box and seal with packing tape and place into the Universal Waste bin. • Batteries must be removed from electronic devices, the ends wrapped with electrical tape, bagged separately and sorted into the Universal Waste bin for disposal. • Broken or damaged compact fluorescent light bulbs should be handled as hazardous / regulated waste and cleaned up and placed in a bag and sorted into the Toxic bin.
