Satellite Accumulation Requirements �Satellite accumulation is the area in your lab, classroom or shop where you keep your waste prior to pickup by EH&S The rules state that the satellite area must be: ▪ at or near the process generating the waste ▪ be under the control of the generator
Satellite containers All satellite containers must: ▪ be labeled with the words “hazardous waste”* ▪ be clean and compatible with the waste ▪ include a descriptive waste name (flammable solvents, corrosive base, corrosive acid, nitric waste, acetone solution, piranha, etc) or a detailed listing of all the chemicals in the container* ▪ be marked with the hazard* : flammable, corrosive, aqueous, etc. (listed as the category on the EH&S waste tag) ▪ be kept closed at all times except when adding or removing waste * A completed hazardous waste tag will include these items
Ready for pickup �Prior to pickup each container needs a completed hazwaste tag with an accurate listing of all the chemicals in the waste including volumes or percentages adding up to 100% �You can tear off the white copy and use it to help you when making your online request – we only need the bottom copy �Tag numbers for each container are entered on the online request
Completed Hazardous Waste Tag
Other waste types � Biowaste Red bag, red drum or yellow drum ▪ All waste must be bagged prior to being placed in the drum ▪ All red bag and red drum waste must be autoclaved ▪ Bags and drums must be closed at all times except when adding waste Sharps ▪ All sharps must be in a ridged, puncture resistant, closed container ▪ Sharps include needles, syringes, scalpels, Pasteur pipettes, and pipette tips from both biological and chemical use ▪ Biological sharps must be autoclaved � Universal waste All batteries must be collected for pickup and recycling All intact light bulbs must be accumulated for pickup and recycling Broken bulbs must be contained and treated as hazardous waste
More waste �Aerosol cans All aerosol cans must be collected for pickup and recycling Per regulation, no can is ever considered empty and can never be put in the trash �Oil is considered a chemical waste Oil is collected for recycling
Regulated items and Recycling �Regulated items that cannot be recycled Sharps ▪ Syringes, Pasteur glass pipettes, pipette tips Plastic lab ware Plastic pipettes (regulated as biowaste) �Regulated items that can be recycled but only through EH&S (cannot be mixed with any other recycling items) Intact light bulbs Batteries Aerosol cans
Closed containers �Can I leave the funnel in the container, while I go out of the room or to another lab bench? I’m going to add more waste to the container is just a few minutes…… No, the rules state that the container must be closed at all time except when adding or removing waste.
Safety update �Do not use heavy walled glass containers (such as an acid bottle) for mixed waste streams. These containers allow a great deal of pressure to buildup in the bottle – several violent bottle bursts have occurred. �Use only thin walled clear glass bottles for mixed waste.
Waste containers Do not use heavy walled containers for mixed waste
Secondary Containment �Secondary containment is recommended at all times, especially when waste is stored on the floor or other unprotected area �Never mix incompatible waste in the same secondary containment unit
