Who needs this refresher training?
Anyone who has had Hazardous Waste Management Training (initial) and who generates any waste to include: chemicals, aerosols, oils, paints,
biological waste, bulbs or batteries

The purpose of this training To re-familiarize you with ASU’s waste
program basics
To let you know of any program changes
To update you on the developments of the EHS Assistant on-line waste pickup
To inform you of any safety issues concerning waste storage or collection

Rules to remember
Nothing down the drain, nothing in the trash
All chemical waste is considered hazardous
All chemical waste needs a completed hazardous waste tag prior to pickup
All liquid biowaste is considered chemical waste
All waste pickup request are made online
![Page 5: Hazardous Waste Management, Annual Refresher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813b25550346895da3e23a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

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
![Page 10: Hazardous Waste Management, Annual Refresher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813b25550346895da3e23a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
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
![Page 11: Hazardous Waste Management, Annual Refresher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813b25550346895da3e23a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
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

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
![Page 14: Hazardous Waste Management, Annual Refresher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813b25550346895da3e23a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
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 Oil is considered a chemical waste Oil is collected for recycling
![Page 15: Hazardous Waste Management, Annual Refresher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813b25550346895da3e23a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
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
