i <br /> OCTOBER 2012HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM <br /> CORE TEMP7RAINING GUUD = <br /> i <br /> Determining unsaleability of damaged or broken products <br /> When a potentially hazardous product appears unsaleable , there may still be options for <br /> disposition before declaring it waste . Once you 've identified the product is potentially <br /> hazardous , consider the following : <br /> • Can the item still be sold or marked down ? <br /> If you have a package with a small nick or crushed corner, or a tear that can be taped , <br /> you may be able to repair the damage and return the item to the sales floor, even if you <br /> must reduce the price . <br /> • Can the item be returned for credit ? <br /> Excluding over-the -counter pharmaceuticals : As long as the potentially hazardous item <br /> is in pristine condition , even when it' s exceeded a code date or has expired , it can be <br /> sent for reclamation . You cannot, however, send any damaged or broken unsaleable <br /> hazardous product to reclamation . <br /> • Can the item be donated ? <br /> If you think the item can be donated , contact Compliance for further instruction (refer to <br /> the end of this guide for contact information ) . <br /> • Can the item be used inY our store ? <br /> Store use is often overlooked as an avenue of disposition . If you think you can use the <br /> item in your store (e . g . , cleaners , hand sanitizer, etc . ) , contact Compliance ( refer to the <br /> end of this guide for contact information) . They can research the item and include it in <br /> the MSDS binder if approved . <br /> If there are no other options for the unsaleable item , it must be declared hazardous waste <br /> and immediately processed through our StrongPak program . <br /> Completely empty containers <br /> Any completely empty container can go in the trash or be recycled . Remember, the hazard <br /> is the actual liquid , gas , powder or other substance INSIDE the container. <br /> Note : There are exceptions for empty containers in the Pharmacy program . <br /> For example , cooking oil is classified as a potentially hazardous product, but the container it <br /> comes in is not . If you turn the bottle upside down and nothing drips out, it is considered <br /> empty and can be recycled or put in the dumpster. This same principle applies to other <br /> containers that are emptied as a result of our own business use . <br /> About aerosol cans : If you press the actuator ( "nozzle") on an aerosol can and nothing <br /> comes out , not even a puff of accelerant , the empty can may go in the trash or dumpster . <br /> However, a partially empty aerosol can still contains hazardous gases and liquids , so partial <br /> cans must be processed as hazardous waste . Aerosol cans missing their actuators are <br /> always processed as hazardous waste . <br /> SLAVE MART SUPERMARKETS <br /> INTENDED FOR INTERNAL USE raNR.Y <br /> —r <br /> ;I <br /> i <br />
