Background: Cruise ships have procedures and methods
for sorting and handling waste. It is useful to become
familiar with these procedures. For several of these items
a small amount of waste into the wastewater system is
acceptable. For example a small amount of barbercide
when diluted with water. Information on disposal can
often be found in the labeling of the product, the MSDS,
or other documentation onboard. ADEC will be providing
some electronic lists of hazardous constituents from the
EPA.
What to check for: Check that the waste streams listed
are not disposed of in the wastewater system (including
accidentally drained ), into the garbage stream, the
bilge, or potentially overboard.
