WASTE HANDLING AND STORING INSTRUCTIONS In general, all waste streams should be placed in an appropriate disposal container and labeled accordingly. Containers should: • Always be in good condition and with labels clearly visible • Be placed in a specific waste storage area clear of other incompatible materials and away from drains or building openings where a spill could contaminate the ground and/or groundwater. STORAGE AREAS • Appropriate signage should be visible indicating the waste storage area (including NO SMOKING signs)and fire fighting equipment • Spill control/clean-up materials should be located in the immediate vicinity. • The main waste storage area, as well as all satellite accumulation areas should be inspected weekly and completed inspection forms filed and kept for a minimum of three years. NOTE: You have been provided Waste Generator Inspection Forms to fit your waste generator classification. Contact your approved hazardous waste management contractor to provide appropriate containers, labels with bills of lading, assistance with wastes manifests and/or hazardous waste manifest, and when waste pick-ups are scheduled/requested. WASTE HANDLING FOR CORRUGATED PACKAGING GENERIC WASTESTREAMS I. Used Oil — Collect all used/spent/depleted oils and hydraulic fluids in a clean, undamaged container suitable for holding "Used Oil". Except where approved by Corrugated Packaging Corporate Environmental Affairs, you must use Heritage Environmental (Corrugated Packagings only approved hazardous/regulated waste management contractor). Heritage recommends you handle this waste stream in 55-gallon drums or 350 gallon totes (Note that 350 gallon totes provide lowest price per gallon for disposal with Heritage). Used Oil in some states is managed and/or manifested as a hazardous waste. Most states consider "Used Oil" as non-hazardous if it is recycled. If it is recycled, it is not normally counted towards your hazardous waste generator status. Label the waste container with a label that states "USED OIL" (Refer to labeling section of the Heritage Waste Handling Manual available online on Heritage website). Labels are available from Heritage. Remember, if you store petroleum products on site over 1320 gallons (total), the site must have a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC Plan) which is now part of Corrugated Packaging's Pollution Prevention and Emergency Response Management (PPERM) plan. Contact Corrugated Packaging Environmental Affairs or your Heritage Customer Service Representative for further guidance and assistance. 2. Oil Absorbents / Oily Debris — Collect all oil absorbent pigs, socks, pads, mats, shop towels/rags, etc., and place in appropriate sized container (usually a 55 gallon drum) and label appropriately. Normally, Oil Absorbents & Oily Debris are considered and handled as non- hazardous waste. Heritage is the only approved hazardous/regulated waste management contractor for this waste stream. Heritage will handle this waste stream by disposing of the waste in non-hazardous waste landfills (least expensive) or recycle the waste via mass burning (waste to energy conversion). If you generate a significant amount of Oil Absorbent Waste and/or Oily Debris wastes, consider using a laundry service to provide oil absorbent mats, pads, pigs, socks, etc. that can be laundered and returned for re-use. This is a recycling opportunity that can significantly reduce/eliminate your oil absorbentloily debris waste stream amounts and costs. Label your waste container appropriately (Refer to labeling section of the Heritage E10a - 6
