All wastes identified as hazardous must be managed using the CVS Pharmacy Hazardous Waste Management Program specifications. Each Store Manager is required to set-up a hazardous waste collection area in the backroom of the store. Your store will receive a start-up kit along with instructions on how to set up the collection area. The Store Manager must set aside a permanent space for the store's collection containers keeping in mind that you must keep the containers in view and accessible, but protected from potential damage. Choose your collection area wisely as you may have to complete additional requirements should you decide to move the area at a later date. Follow the steps outlined below for initial set up of your collection area: Step Action 1 Locate and ensure you have received all program materials per the packing list received in your shipment. 2 Designate an area in the backroom or another secure indoor area. The space should allow for the following: a. Wail space for hanging program posters, b. Space for the hazardous waste collection containers; and c. Storage space nearby for extra program supplies. 3 Mount program posters on the wall at eye level. 4 Hang program guide in the collection area so it is accessible for colleagues to reference, if needed. 6 Set up hazardous waste collection containers. 6 Place an applicable hazardous waste container label on each container (i.e., "STORE," or "PHARMACY") • Note that "STORE" labels in select states will consist of 8 separate types. i Complete labels with the store # and address at the time of setup. The accumulation start date must be added when an item is first placed into the container. 8 Place "STORE" hazardous waste collection container(s) in the designated collection area, and ensure label is complete and clearly visible. 9 Place "PHARMACY" hazardous waste collection container in the Pharmacy. The "PHARMACY" container must remain in the Pharmacy at all times, including when the container becomes full. Ensure label is complete and clearly visible.
