Photo Waste Streams <br />Overview All areas of a CVS/pharmacy store (Front Store, Photo and Pharmacy) may <br />generate waste items through normal business operations that are regulated <br />as hazardous waste. These items must not be disposed of in the trash, <br />dumpster, sinks, toilets or down the drains. Hazardous waste items must be <br />disposed of by using a hazardous waste collection program. <br />CVS/pharmacy has arranged for StrongPak and Phillips Services <br />Corporation (PSC), licensed hazardous waste companies, to provide <br />hazardous waste disposal services to the Photo labs. We will discuss <br />StrongPak and PSC later on in this training. <br />Photo Waste There are many photo waste streams that have special handling <br />Streams requirements.
