Dollar General #14661, 1940 McHenry Ave. Escalon, CA Record ID PR0540012 <br />08/14/2019 CUPA – Haz. Waste <br />PHOTO # 1 <br />Elianna Florido, REHS Page 1 of 22 <br />When asked how employees determine which of the differently categorized hazardous waste (HW) totes a waste item belongs in, David Barajas, Store <br />Manager, said each item is scanned using a hand-held scanner, which will sometimes state which HW tote the item belongs in. David indicated that when <br />the scanner does not specify which HW tote an item belongs in, employees will read the item's label and ingredients, as well as the Dollar General (DG) <br />HW guidance poster and documents, which provide product examples and key words for each of the HW categories, to determine wh ich HW tote an item <br />belongs in (see photos IMG 8283, 8293). When asked what employees do if they are still unsure about which HW tote a waste item belongs in, David <br />stated he will call contact his District Manager, Steve Bohnak, or Eric Voyles, DG Director of Facilities Management. David a lso mentioned that he is able <br />to submit a ticket notification using the facility's computer to notify DG Corporate if the hand-held scanner does not provide a HW classification for an item <br />when the item is scanned. <br /> <br />The waste items listed below were observed in the HW totes, but at the time of inspection it could not be determined how the HW determinations for each <br />of these items were made. The hand-held scanner did not specify which HW tote the items should go in, and the DG Environmental Compliance HW <br />poster and guidance documents did not list these types of items: <br /> <br />1. The following waste items were found in a tote labeled as Toxic HW (IMG 8287 -8, 8307-9, 8311): <br />- A DG Home Cherry Blossom Fragranced Candle <br />- A broken wax candle of an unknown brand <br />
