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. - An empty container of Homeline Multi-Surface Cleaner was found on top of a shelf adjacent the mop sink and hazardous waste (HW) storage area (IMG 5120-1). According to Kassandra Witthoft, store manager, empty chemical containers, from either store-use or spills in the store, are thrown into the trash. When asked how spill clean-up waste, including absorbent, is managed, Kassandra stated spill clean-up waste is also placed in the trash. A Family Dollar sign above the mop sink states “Never dispose of potential hazardous waste in the trash or down the mop sink” (IMG 5132). - An empty container of Nyco Table Time 200 Food Service Sanitizer was found adjacent the hazardous waste storage area (IMG 5122). - A plastic bag labeled ST and containing empty packets of One Packs GS Neutral Cleaner Concentrate was found on a shelf containing store use cleaning items, adjacent the HW storage area and mop sink. According to Kassandra when she scans the item, the hand-held scanner prompts her to place the empty packets into the State Regulated (ST) hazardous waste tote. (IMG 5123-6). - A 1-2 gallon container of laundry detergent was found bagged and detergent was leaking out of the bag into the mop sink, adjacent the hazardous waste storage area (IMG 5120, 5127-9). A Family Dollar sign above the mop sink states “Never dispose of potential hazardous waste in the trash or down the mop sink” (IMG 5132). - At the time of inspection a container of Murphy Pure Vegetable Soap fell and spilled onto the store floor. Jamie Muima, assistant manager, began cleaning up the spill by applying spill absorbent. When asked how she usually manages a leaking container and absorbent used to clean-up a spill, Jamie stated she scans the item, places the leaking item into the HW tote indicated on the hand-held scanner, and throws the used absorbent into the trash. The inspector pointed Jamie to the Family Dollar Hazardous Waste Training Guide, which indicates that the spilled item and all used spill supplies should be bagged, the name of the item should be written on the bag, and the bag should be placed in the proper hazardous waste tote (IMG 5147). Jamie scanned the vegetable soap, which prompted her to place the soap into the ST HW tote. Jamie then placed the used absorbent into a bag and into the ST HW tote, and placed the leaking soap container into a single separate bag without absorbent. According to the Family Dollar Hazarous Waste Training Guide, free liquids should be bagged with absorbent and leaking items should be double bagged (IMG 5148). It was not until after the inspector asked Jamie if she was going to fill out the label on the ST HW tote, did Jamie mark the physical state, accumulation start date, and contents on the label.
