Damages/final disposition items must be processed daily and this program must be used to <br />evaluate anything you need to dispose of at the store level. Follow the "Recognizing Waste" <br />procedures outlined in the Front Store training course for additional detail. <br />Once you have determined that a waste item is hazardous, by following the "Identifying <br />Hazardous Waste" procedures in the Front Store training, place the waste item in its own <br />self-sealing hazardous waste bag. The hazardous waste bags are specifically designed to <br />be used as a "container," while the hazardous waste collection container provides <br />secondary containment. Bags are also meant to keep different materials separate, <br />therefore, only one Front Store item may be collected in each bag. This step is critical to <br />make sure that incompatible items (such as ammonia and bleach) do not mix. Stores may <br />not use plastic bags from CVS Pharmacy shelves or any other bags for hazardous waste. <br />To properly manage hazardous waste, follow the steps below: <br />Step <br />Action <br />1 <br />Place the entire waste item, including all packaging, into a self-sealing hazardous waste <br />bag. Remember: Only one item per bag. <br />2 <br />If the item is leaking, follow the "Handling Leaking Hazardous Waste" described in the <br />Front Store training course. <br />3 <br />Close the self-sealing bag completely. <br />e Double-check seal to be certain the bag is closed. <br />a <br />If the item's label is not legible, write the product name on the outside of the bag with a <br />black permanent marker. <br />66 <br />Place bagged waste item carefully into the appropriate labeled hazardous waste <br />collection container. Due to chemical properties of the hazardous waste items, <br />mishandling these items could cause an accident or injury. Place larger, heavier items <br />at the bottom of the container if possible. <br />6 <br />Ensure the "STORE" or "PHARMACY" Hazardous Waste label is placed on the outside <br />of the hazardous waste collection container. Additional labels may be required <br />depending on state requirements. Refer to the State Specific Requirements Section of <br />your EH&S Program Binder. <br />� Env�ronrnental 13 <br />(Health &Safety <br />
