Note: A cardboard box can only be used to contain non -corrosive, non -leaking, solid hazardous waste that is compatible with cardboard. Label the tote/box with the correct classification label, and fill out the label with the appropriate information. If using a box, completely close and seal the box with tape, making sure there are no holes or gaps. Once the box is sealed, it should not be opened again. Used fluorescent tubes Never put used or broken fluorescent tubes in the trash. Our lighting vendor should be able to leave empty tube boxes at the store. The vendor should be in every store each month to install new tubes and pickup used tubes. However, you must be sure that all tube waste is organized in one accessible place for easy pickup (near the accumulation area). Place a completed tote label on the box. Call Compliance if the tubes are not being picked up on a regular basis. Handling hazardous spills When hazardous product results in a spill, the items used to clean up the spill must be included in the hazardous waste bag. If this is not done, an inspector would have to assume that the items used for clean-up went into the trash or dumpster, which is a serious violation. 1. Put on disposable gloves. 2. Pour absorbent over the spill, and let it sit until the spill has been completely absorbed. 3. Bag and seal the item, absorbent, paper towels, gloves, and any other cleaning supplies iM a hazardous waste bag. 4. Bag and seal the bag in a second hazardous waste bag. 5. If the label is missing or unreadable, write the name of the item on the bag using a permanent marker. 6. Place the item in the appropriate tote. 7. Check off the type of waste on the label (if not already checked).
