Hazardous Waste Quick Reference Guide 5 May 2019 <br />Processing Hazardous Waste <br />1. Put on disposable gloves and safety glasses. Have sealable plastic bags handy. <br />2. Using the PDT, scan the damaged item. <br /> <br />Use of the PDT to identify waste is required for all products. If a PDT is not available, <br />or “See Guide” comes up when scanned, use the Waste Category Guide. <br />Dollar Tree: All waste may be marked down in one batch. <br />Family Dollar: Follow the D-100 process. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3. If the product name is missing or illegible, write the product name <br />on the bag. <br />4. Place the item into the plastic bag. Identical items with the same SKU/UPC# may <br />be placed in the same bag. <br />5. If the item is leaking, pour just enough absorbent into the bag to soak up the liquid. Let the <br />bag sit for a few minutes to make sure all “free” liquid has been absorbed. Always double- <br />bag leakers. <br /> <br />Be sure to tighten any caps. <br />6. Completely close the self-sealing bag. For leakers, make sure both bags are completely <br />sealed. Place the bagged item into the appropriate tote. <br /> <br />Always keep liquids in an upright position. <br />7. Check off the item/product type on the container label. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />If the PDT does not return a waste code (or indicates “Safe”), the <br />item should be safe to discard in the trash. If you still think it is <br />hazardous, bag the item and place it in a box labeled “Needs <br />Further Assessment.” Submit a request for assistance to <br />hazardouswaste@dollartree.com. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
