All wastes identified as hazardous must be managed using the CVS Pharmacy Hazardous <br /> Waste Management Program specifications. <br /> Setting Up Your Retail Waste Collection Area <br /> Each Store Manager is required to set-up a hazardous waste collection area in the <br /> backroom of the store. Your store will receive a start-up kit along with instructions on how <br /> to set up the collection area. The Store Manager must set aside a permanent space for the <br /> store's collection containers keeping in mind that you must keep the containers in view and <br /> accessible, but protected from potential damage. Choose your collection area wisely as you <br /> may have to complete additional requirements should you decide to move the area at a <br /> later date. <br /> Follow the steps outlined below for initial set up of your collection area: <br /> Step Action <br /> 1 Locate and ensure you have received all program materials per the packing list received <br /> in your shipment. <br /> 2 Designate an area in the backroom or another secure indoor area. The space should <br /> allow for the following: <br /> a. Wall space for hanging program posters; <br /> b. Space for the hazardous waste collection containers; and <br /> c. Storage space nearby for extra program supplies. <br /> 3 Mount program posters on the wall at eye level. <br /> 4 Hang program guide in the collection area so it is accessible for colleagues to <br /> reference, if needed. <br /> 5 Set up hazardous waste collection containers. <br /> 6 Place an applicable hazardous waste container label on each container (i.e., "STORE," <br /> or"PHARMACY") <br /> • Note that "STORE" labels in select states will consist of 6 separate types. <br /> 7 Complete labels with the store# and address at the time of setup. The accumulation <br /> start date must be added when an item is first placed into the container. <br /> 8 Place "STORE" hazardous waste collection container(s) in the designated collection <br /> area, and ensure label is complete and clearly visible. <br /> 9 Place "PHARMACY" hazardous waste collection container in the Pharmacy. The <br /> "PHARMACY" container must remain in the Pharmacy at all times, including when the <br /> container becomes full. Ensure label is complete and clearly visible. <br /> CVSharmac Environmental 11 <br /> pharmacy Health &Safety <br />
