Waste Characterization
• IS IT A WASTE?
Some items are reusable. Reusable labels shall be used for identifying these items (e.g. ethanol).
DON’T USE WASTE LABELS.
13
1. RADIOACTIVE?
• Did it come from a radiation area?
If so, the material may be a radioactive or mixed waste.
• Items must be surveyedNote: only certain chemicals are approved to be used in rad areas (i.e., KPC 820N).
• For assistance, contact a Radiological Technician.
14
2. TRASHABLE no chemicals/ liquids
• Regular garbage and shop trash
• Empty containers rendered unusable *(carboys, poly and fiberboard drums) –
remove the cap or cut the container in half so it
can’t be reused for draining fluids from vehicles
or motor equipment
15
TRASHABLE
BROKEN WOODEN PALLETS
• may only go into a 20 yd3 dumpster. Contact Sue Populorum @ X-3876.
• Contact Larry Rodriguez (BS) @ X-4225 to have pallets picked up from your location.
16
3. RECYCLABLE?free liquid
• Electronic components (printed circuit boards, ballasts ), wire, empty cans, toxic metals, i.e., lead and silver solders, etc.
17
3. RECYCLABLE?
Electronic ballasts
Remove the NiCd battery* prior to recycling
*RECYCLE AS UW
18
Lead and Silver Solder
• Hand soldering is common - assembly and repair of electronic parts.
• Best way to manage solder is to use it up completely; however, this doesn’t always happen.
20
Lead and Silver Solder
RECYCLABLE
The Silver and lead concentration from waste (drippings) generated from soldering operations is too high & therefore will fail EPA’s toxic limit (5mg/L)
22
RECYCLING PROCEDURES
for LEAD or SILVER Recyclable
• Container must have a lid (e.g., coffee can or poly bottle)
• Container must be marked Recyclable Lead or Silver Solder
23
LEAD [Ag] SOLDER PROCEDURESRecyclable
• Lead and silver solder must be segregated
• Container shall remain closed unless adding or removing solder
• When full, secure lid to container (tape)
24
LEAD [Ag] SOLDER PROCEDURESRecyclable
2 OPTIONS (pickup)
• Contact Mike Frett (Mechanical
Dept.) or AD/WC to utilize scrap metal bins (X/Gallery)
• Or complete a Material Move Request Form to have it picked up from your location
25
Paint CansRecyclable
Empty aerosol/paint cans
Only water based paint, with a minimum volume of liquid left in the metal can, may be left open to air dry before recycling the can.
Note: Oil dry or kitty litter can also be used to absorb any liquid
26
Oil Based Paints
However, containers with leftover oil based paint must be processed as
“hazardous waste” and can’t be left- open to
air dry.
289/1/2010
Use Appropriate Container for Recyclable Materials
1. Unusable and Empty spray paints only
2. Empty metal cans 2 gallon .

CORROSIVE (AD Incident)
Lessons Learned Incident: Feb. 16, 2006
Involved: Mislabeled/Mischaracterized 55 gallon drum of liquid
Waste Stream: descaling operation. What Happened? • Generator used pH paper to
check the pH. Results = 3• Drum of liquid was labeled
SPECIAL WASTE and submitted to the Waste Coordinator for approval.
41
CORROSIVE (AD Incident)
Form was approved and submitted to ESH/HCTT for pickup.
• At Site 55 (HWSF), the HCTT technician conducted a routine pH check of the waste, using 0-14 pH strips and the results = 0 to 1
42
CORROSIVE (AD Incident)
He conducts another pH test using 0-6 range pH strips, increments of 0.5 for better accuracy. Results this time = 0
• HCTT technician reclassified & relabeled the waste, HAZARDOUS WASTE
Notified the AD Waste Coordinator of the error.

revised 6/2/2010
56
Continuation of
It is prohibited to purposely air dry solvent rags and wipes
• Solvents naturally evaporate from rags and wipes during the course of their use. This is unavoidable and it is acceptable if rags and wipes become devoid of free liquids in this way. However, it is not permissible to spread wet rags/wipes out to
deliberately allow them to dry. This is considered treatment and would require a special permit from IEPA. It also would potentially create
safety and health hazards and contribute to ground-level ozone (i.e., smog) formation. Hint: Try to minimize the amount of solvent you apply to the rag/wipe. Use repeated applications, if necessary, rather than saturating the rag/wipe with solvent.

6. SPECIAL WASTE
Special waste is a waste that isn’t hazardous as defined by RCRA; however, there are state regulations that govern the transportation and disposal of these types of waste.
Liquids and TSCA materials. TSCA: to control substances determined to cause
unreasonable risk to public health or the environment. Asbestos abatement and the use, storage, transport and disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are included in these regulations.
73
INDUSTRIAL PROCESS WASTE
POLLUTION CONTROL WASTE
PIMW (potentially infectious medical waste)
Liquid, solid, semisolid, or gaseous waste generated when manufacturing a product or performing a service
Examples: cutting lubricants, equipment cleanings, used solvents from parts cleaners, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) containing materials.
Pollution control waste is generated when contaminants are removed from the air, soil, or water.
Examples: Cleanup waste from PCB spills (includes empty containers) and asbestos-containing materials (ACM) generated during demolition and renovation operations.
Generated in connection with diagnosis, treatment, medical research, biological testing, immunization of humans or animals.
Examples: Needles, syringes, medical sharps, bandages
74
BALLAST/CAPACITOR
• Capacitor and ballast manufactured after July 1, 1978 that didn’t contain PCB’s should be marked No PCB's if it didn’t contain PCBs .
• If unmarked, the item should be treated as PCB contaminated..
75
IMPORTANTNon-PCB liquid filled ballast
Can’t be disposed of via dumpster because they may contain a toxic fluid (diethylhexyl phthalate*) or other fluids (oil). These types of ballasts shall be discarded as Special Waste.
* If unused, the waste code would be U028.
76
Mandatory Requirements for PCB Materials
included in handout
• Temporary storage areas must be labeled with Large PCB Mark - label that is 6”x 6”
77
Mandatory Requirements for PCB Materials
included in handout
• Both Special Waste and PCB labels must be affixed to the waste container. Avoid covering manufacturer’s information
• Contact the WC for labels.
78
Mandatory Requirements for PCB Materials
• The out-of-service date must be marked on the “Special Waste” label. If items are collected in a container, the earliest out-of-service date applies.
• Capacitors and ballasts may only be stored at the SAA for up to 30 days from the date of removal from service.
• Chemical Waste Pickup Request Form must be completed promptly.
79
Mandatory Requirements for PCB Materials
included in handout
• Leaky capacitors and ballasts - containerized and separated from non-leaky capacitors.
• Containers shall be in good condition and labeled
• Use only non-regulated metal to short out your capacitors
80
Mandatory Requirements – PCB Mat’ls
• Hi-Bay/X-Gallery SAA is for approved, non-radioactive PCB capacitors and ballasts only.
• Generators should notify the waste coordinator prior to placing any PCB waste at this location to ensure that the waste is being processed promptly.
82
SPECIAL WASTE LABELS
ASBESTOS WASTE
• The contractor is responsible for labeling ACM (pre-printed marked bags or containers).
• The WC is responsible
for affixing a “Special Waste” label to the waste.
84
Absorbed Waste from Cleanupsoil/glycol
Trashable: Usually involves non-contaminated absorbent materials (wipes, rags, pads) from non-PCB oil or glycol cleanups
Rule of thumb: ≤1 ft3/dumpster and waste should be double bagged.
Large liquid spills – Used Oil or Special Waste
85
WHAT IS COLD SOLVENT CLEANING? (Cleaning electronic components and wipe cleaning aren’t included)
Process of cleaning and removing grease, wax and other impurities from metal and other parts and keeping the solvent below its boiling point (BP). If it exceeds its BP it is vapor degreasing and requires a permit.
Also referred to as degreasing or parts washing
86
Cold Solvent Cleaning
1. Degreasers must remain closed when parts aren’t handled (prevent evaporation and ground level ozone (smog)
2. Cleaned parts must be drained inside the degreaser until drip free.
3. Waste solvent shall be stored in a covered container.
87
Cold CleaningDept Heads should notify
the EO whenever:
• New potential air emission sources are introduced
• Modifications to your operations that increases the amount of air contaminants being released
89
7. USED OILS
• All transformer oils (Shell Diala) and petroleum based oils > 5 gallons are tested for halogens (i.e., PCBs, CFCs (freons)
90
USED OIL CONTINUATION
• If oil is contaminated, then another sample is taken and analyzed off-site
• Also there is a storage limitation of no more than 3 days for contaminated oil (i.e., freon) to be stored at a SAA.
• Greater than 55 gallons of oil must be relocated to the lab’s permitted facility (Site 55)
91
USED OIL CONTINUATION
Oils contaminated with PCB and CFC can’t be recycled.
DON’T use the same chemical funnel to transfer oils
93
8. USED OIL FILTERSnon-radioactive
• NON-REGULATED WASTE and can’t be disposed of as regular trash.
• Must be stored in a covered and sealed container for disposal.

107
UNIVERSAL WASTE MERCURY DEVICES
40 CFR 273.4 Thermostats, thermometers, barometers, switches
• Pack mercury devices in rigid, sealable containers with packing materials i.e., bubble wrap or other adequate materials to prevent breakage
• Store mercury devices in an inside, dry area not exposed to weather;
• Mark container with a “Universal Waste Mercury Containing Equipment” label
109
12. UNKNOWNS
Chemicals should always be identified and labeled properly
Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen.
110
UNKNOWN WASTE(abandoned)
• Creates serious concerns, problems and extra costs (sampling and analysis).
• Usually lacks the initial and necessary information to properly characterize the waste.
• Difficult to handle and store
111
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
1. Check w/others in the location to see if they may have any process knowledge of the waste or it’s origin
2. Look for written records, check the container for any legible markings (bar codes manufr/stock #s) on lid/bottom of container
3. Check to see if the material looks like another material already in use
112
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
• Contact the AD/Waste Coordinator.
• He/She will give you a form (Unknown Material Request Form) to complete
• Attach the completed form to a completed “Chemical Waste Pickup Request Form” and submit both forms to the WC for review and approval.
113
UNKNOWN MATERIAL REQUEST FORM• Requestor:____________________________________________ Phone
#:_____________________• • Location of Material (Bldg/Room/Cabinet #) __________________________________________• • Description of Container (size) ___________________________ (type) _____________________
1. General Description of the Material (aqueous, color, pH) • a) circle one: solid/ liquid/ oil/ multi-phase (describe)
• b) describe the material color:• • c) describe the material texture:• • d) Document pH results, only if it can be easily obtained.• • e) Is there a distinct odor? Note: If the smell is not very obvious, then don’t sniff the
material.• • f) Does the waste resemble another product normally used in the area that the unknown was
found? • 2. PERSONNEL SURVEY: Describe the actions that you’ve taken to identify the waste (e.g.,
discussions with building and area managers, co-workers and contractors in the work area). AD/ESH Dept.
114
DON’T LET YOUR WASTE BECOME A STRANGER !
WAYS TO PREVENT UNKNOWNS
• Label all containers (i.e., product and waste containers).
• Don’t remove or cover the manufacturer’s label.
• Keep track of the expiration dates on materials and
• Use materials that are about to expire first.
• Only order what is necessary to do the task to prevent unnecessary chemical waste.
115
Ways to Prevent Unknowns
• Get rid of chemicals you don’t want or plan on using in the future.
• Secure loose and deteriorating labels on containers
• Complete a waste pickup form to ensure that waste does not have a chance to remain in a work area and be forgotten.
116
UNKNOWN(catastrophic event)
• If you find any unlabeled chemical that has crystallized or there is any other indication that it may be unstable, DO NOT TOUCH IT!
• Contact the WC or AD/ES&H Department
ASAP
118
12. EMPTY CONTAINERS40 CFR 261.7
A container is considered empty when all materials have been removed, using common practices e.g., pouring, pumping, aspirating
119
EMPTY CONTAINERSall metal cans > 5 gallons
•Complete a waste form and check Non-Regulated category on the form
•Label the container with an “EMPTY” label.
Note: Containers that once contained a “P-listed” waste shall be disposed of as a “Hazardous Waste”
121
Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAA)
• Label waste containers @ the time of accumulation
• Containers shall be compatible with the waste/chemical (preferred manufacturer’s container)
• Ensure chemical compatibility with other nearby waste (MSDS)
122
Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAA)
• Inspect containers for corrosion, leaks and deterioration
• Containers shall remain closed, unless adding or removing waste
• Hazardous waste must remain @ SAA
123
Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAA)
• Use secondary containment when storing hazardous waste near or with products.
• Hazardous waste shall never exceed 55 gallons or 1 qt of P-listed waste @ the SAA
124
Common Mistakes @ SAA(delay pickup)
• Unable to locate item
• SAA isn’t accessible
• Containers should be clean & free of liquid residue on lids and side surfaces
125
Common Mistakes @ SAA(delay pickup)
• Incomplete or improperly labeled item(s)
• Containers without tight fitting lids or closures
• Information on label is defaced
Use a Sharpie permanent black marker, other
colors will fade due to sunlight and weather
conditions
126
Common Mistakes @ SAA(delay pickup)
• Integrity of the waste container is poor (corroded, not road worthy, leaky, etc)
• Containers aren’t protected outdoors (i.e., no lid covers, conditions too cold for outdoor storage, snowbound
127
D R U M CA P ACITY(problem @ SAA)
• Drum is too full. Drums can hold more than 55 gallons. Extra space allows liquids to expand in the container due to temperature.
• Rule of thumb - maintain at least 3” of headspace in waste container.
Bulging containers present a safety hazard for others who handle them
