Chapter 14.0<br />
Supplemental Waste Accumulation and Segregation Guide<br />
14.1 Scope<br />
a. Although it is impossible to provide segregation specifics for every possible waste that is<br />
generated, this document provides guidance to individuals generating wastes on storage decisions<br />
and mixing waste chemicals. Laboratories pose a complicated problem when small quantities of<br />
chemical mixtures are poured into a single container. Therefore, this guide will also provide specific<br />
information for storing laboratory wastes.<br />
b. Remember, this guide provides additional information on storing and segregating wastes, but all<br />
the requirements in Chapter 3, Managing Industrial Solid Waste, also apply. Not all requirements<br />
are restated in this quick overview supplement.<br />
14.2 General Waste Accumulation Guidance<br />
14.2.1 Proper Waste Accumulation Process<br />
a. An evaluation on the proper waste accumulation process shall be done prior to using any<br />
chemical.<br />
b. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and product labels are two primary sources of<br />
information on how to handle the waste generated from using the product. The evaluation shall<br />
consider all the following:<br />
(1) Segregation issues: What other wastes, if any, can be mixed or stored together?<br />
(2) Waste accumulation container type: What type of container should be used (plastic, glass,<br />
special)?<br />
(3) Waste container size: What size of container should be used to accumulate wastes?<br />
(4) Waste accumulation location: Where should the waste be stored?<br />
(5) Accumulation time: How long is it safe to store or accumulate the waste before requesting<br />
pickup for ultimate disposition?<br />
(6) Accumulation area inspection: What are the requirements for inspecting the waste<br />
accumulation area?<br />
(7) Special requirements for laboratories: Are there additional requirements for laboratories<br />
that use multiple chemicals and generate waste mixtures?<br />
14.2.2 Waste Segregation and Compatibility<br />
a. If a product has a particular hazard or incompatibility with another chemical, the waste will<br />
usually exhibit the same characteristics. Generally, it is not recommended to mix any two<br />
wastes. Some of the results of unknowingly (or knowingly) mixing wastes that shouldn't be<br />
mixed are:<br />
