F HazWaste Accumulation Area Set Up, continued Action • The Hazardous Waste category label should be placed on both the lids and bodies of the drums. • The drums must be lined up with the side labels facing the same direction. • Transferring HazWaste to the new drums: o Ensure associates are wearing the necessary PPE. o Properly categorize, bag, and seal each HazWaste item in the new drums. Multiples of the same item may be bagged together. o Transfer the existing accumulation start date from the old containers. o After all the stickers and labels have been removed or defaced, the store can discard the old drums with the non hazardous waste. (The drums must pass the no drip test before disposition. Soak up any spillage at the bottom of the drum using absorbent pads or powders. Bag and place absorbent waste inside the corresponding HazWaste drum.) Safety Tips! • Drums have the potential to become very heavy when filled with hazardous waste items. The safety of the associates must be kept in mind as the stores decide where and how to position them. • Associates should be able to unscrew the drum lids and place waste inside without having to move the entire drum. If this is not possible due to the racking set up, drums should be placed on pallets for easier movement and accessibility. • Associates should always ask for assistance from another associate when moving any bulky or heavy item. Drums will be used for waste storage, by category of waste. In some instances, the size of the waste storage drums may have to be adjusted depending on the waste volume generated by the store.
