WASTE STREAM OVERVIEW <br /> Solvents Found in spray cans, parts washers, paint, and glue/adhesives (mainly found in <br /> and around metal cleaning operations and in maintenance departments). <br /> Acids Found in batteries and used for pH control in wastewater treatment. <br /> Paint Found in aerosol cans or pails and could contain lead and flammable solvents. <br /> Inks Found in printing operations. Can be solvent and/or water based. <br /> Aerosol cans Found throughout the plant (most in maintenance areas). Hazardous if not <br /> empty and contains hazardous components or contain flammable propellant. <br /> Caustic Found in bulk storage tanks, in bags and/or drums as liquid, flakes or pellets <br /> and used in starch formulations and for pH control in wastewater treatment. <br /> Batteries Found in fork trucks, electronic equipment, and emergency lighting as lead- <br /> acid, alkaline, ni-cad, lithium, etc. (This waste stream is normally considered <br /> "universal waste" and doesn't count toward hazardous waste generator status). <br /> Lighting ballast Found in lighting fixtures around the plant. Ballast could contain small <br /> amounts of PCB's. (This waste stream is normally considered "universal <br /> waste" and doesn't count toward hazardous waste generator status). <br /> Florescent bulbs Found in lighting fixtures around the plant. Burned out bulbs can contain <br /> small amounts of mercury. (This waste stream is normally considered <br /> "universal waste"and doesn't count toward hazardous waste generator status). <br /> HID bulbs Found in lighting fixtures in high-bay areas of the plant. (This waste stream is <br /> normally considered"universal waste"and doesn't count toward hazardous <br /> waste generator status). <br /> Mercury switches Found in thermostats or pressure reading equipment in the plant. (This waste <br /> stream is normally considered"universal waste" and doesn't count toward <br /> hazardous waste generator status). <br /> Used Oil Generated from oil filters and equipment when hydraulic fluids are replaced. <br /> Can be hazardous but normally recycled off-site as a non-hazardous waste. <br /> Oil Filter Found in equipment using oil. Should not go in trash unless drained and <br /> allowed. <br /> Oily Debris As absorbents,pigs, socks, pads, mats, etc., and found throughout the plant. <br /> Used to collect drips, spills, etc. <br /> Waste Sludge Normally found in sumps, settling basins/clarifiers, and from filter presses. <br /> Usually is not a hazardous waste but is disposed as a"special waste"and can't <br /> be mixed with other waste streams at the plant. <br /> Electronic Equip Found throughout the plant mainly in offices and the manufacturing areas. All <br /> computer and electronic equipment must be disposed of using Temple- <br /> Inland's approved Hazardous/Regulated waste contractor—Heritage. In <br /> California, CRT's are classified as Universal Waste. <br /> E10a - 5 <br />
