Two 5-gallon blue open buckets, one containing used oil and two oil filters, and the other containing only used oil, lacked all of the required hazardous waste labeling information. Christopher Becker, a mechanic and owner of the business, placed the used oil found in the two buckets into the used oil tank, and placed the two filters in the used oil filter drum.All hazardous waste containers shall be marked with the following information: -the words"Hazardous Waste" -name and address of generator -hazardous properties -physical state -composition (contents) -accumulation start date Immediately label these containers and ensure that all hazardous waste containers are marked with all the required information.
