Significance and Use4.1 This guide is intended to provide general guidance to HHW programs for accepting and segregating materials, selecting amanagement method, and packaging materials collected by HHW programs.5. Procedure5.1 Accepting MaterialsHHW P
17、rogramsprograms should establish a list of materials that will be accepted at its facilities orevent collections. The list should be distributed to the public prior to the facility opening or event collection. Types of materialscommonly collected by HHW Programsprograms include:5.1.1 Materials that
18、exhibit a hazardous characteristic, as defined in 40 CFR 261.5, such as ignitability, toxicity, corrosivity,oxidizer, reactivity, or are a listed hazardous waste;5.1.2 Materials prohibited from local municipal waste management systems; and5.1.3 Materials collected to provide a convenience or public
19、service to a community.5.1.4 HHW Programs will need to establish traffic flow, vehicle unloading and safety procedures. All personnel involved withmaterial acceptance should receive training in material identification, proper lifting procedures, safety and personnel protectiveequipment.5.1.5 Leaking
20、 containers should be repackaged immediately into a container that is compatible with the material in thecontainer.5.1.6 Unlabeled containers should be segregated from other wastes. The individual who brought the container should beinterviewed to assist in identification. Any further categorization
21、and identification of the material should be completed as soonas possible. A hazardous materials contractor or trained staff could perform tests to identify the materials.5.2 Personnel TrainingHHW programs will need to establish traffic flow, vehicle unloading, and safety procedures. Allpersonnel in
22、volved with material acceptance should receive training in material identification, proper lifting procedures, safety, andpersonal protective equipment.5.3 Leaking ContainersLeaking containers should be repackaged immediately into a container that is compatible with thematerial in the container.5.4
23、Unlabeled ContainersUnlabeled containers should be segregated from other wastes. The individual who brought thecontainer should be interviewed to assist in identification. Any further categorization and identification of the material should becompleted as soon as possible. A hazardous materials cont
24、ractor or trained staff could perform tests to identify the materials.5.5 Segregating MaterialsAs the materials are collected they should be segregated into general categories based on DOTincompatibility and packaging regulations.5.5.1 Commonly Collected MaterialsDOT classifies materials generated f
25、rom households as a consumer commodity, whichexempts them from DOT regulations. The materials listed below are sub-categoriessubcategories of DOT classes and are notintended to be all inclusive, but a guide to the most common materials collected by HHW programs.Oil Based Paint Water Based (latex) Pa

28、ppropriate manner based on whether itexhibits a hazardous characteristic. A material that exhibits a hazardous characteristic or meets the definition of a listed hazardouswaste or material should be transported in accordance with DOT regulations for its specific hazard class.5.5.2 Materials Requirin
29、g Special HandlingThe materials listed below require special handling. HHW Programsprograms donot typically promote accepting these materials through their programs. However, these materials are brought to collectionfacilities and it is wise to be prepared to refer people to the appropriate local ma
30、nagement option or to handle the materials at thefacility. Management options are suggested below for these materials. The handling of these materials should be addressed in thesite safety and emergency response plan for the facility.5.5.2.1 Explosives, Ammunition or FireworksContact local law enfor

32、lsRefer to local management option or accept in accordance with local, state, and federalregulations.5.5.2.5 Consumer Electronics and AppliancesThese items may have hazardous components and should be handled by a localhandler, or may be managed through the HHW program.5.5.3 Incompatibility and Segre
33、gation of MaterialsIncompatible materials, when mixed, generate chemical reactions whichmay result in serious safety and health concerns. These include toxic gas generation, heat generation, flammable gas generation,fire, explosion, or polymerization of materials. Containers of incompatible material
34、s should be adequately separated using bins,drums, dikes, walls, or other devices, such that mixing of incompatible materials is prevented in the event of a spill, or a breakor leak in a container.5.5.3.1 Material and container segregation procedures should be established before waste is accepted. P
35、rocedures should bebased on the type of materials accepted, facility design and facility operation. Personnel responsible for segregating wastes shouldbe properly trained in chemical management and safety. The following list gives only general guidance on incompatible categoriesof materials.Always S
36、egregate: From:Acids Bases, cyanidesOxidizers FlammablesCyanides Acids, oxidizers5.6 Selecting a Management Method for Collected MaterialsPrior to consolidating materials, the ultimate managementmethod for the material should be considered. The management method selected may affect how the materials
37、 will be packaged.Common management practices include: reuse, recycling, energy recovery, on-site treatment, incineration, land disposal, and wastewater treatment.5.6.1 When selecting the most appropriate material management method, HHW Programsprograms should consider severalfactors, including:5.6.
38、1.1 Compliance with permitting requirements and local, state, and federal regulations (especially when performing on-sitetreatment of materials);5.6.1.2 Operational or structural limitations at facilities or event collections (that is, no product reuse available on-site, noconnection to sewer treatm
39、ent facility, limited space);5.6.1.3 Personnel training and expertise;5.6.1.4 Consideration of a materials management hierarchy that favors reuse, recycling, and energy or material recovery overincineration or land disposal;5.6.1.5 Compliance with DOT hazardous waste regulations (49 CFR Parts 100185
40、);5.6.1.6 Cost;5.6.1.7 Potential liability related to each management method; and5.6.1.8 Contractual or contractor restrictions or preferences.5.7 Packaging Collected MaterialsCollected materials need to be packaged or handled according to facility standards,standards and local, state, and federal r
41、egulations. Materials management contractors may also have specific packaging protocolthat must be followed so that they can properly and efficiently process materials at their facilities. Unlabeled containers orquestionable materials should not be packaged until they are properly identified.5.7.1 O
42、n-siteOn-Site Management Options and Packaging:5.7.1.1 ReuseUsable materials in original containers that are offered to local residents or organizations during an eventcollection or at a permanent site should be left in their original containers. This allows users to reference original label informa
43、tionfor proper use, and preserves the manufacturers product liability.5.7.1.2 Paints or other materials may be bulked into larger containers. However, the HHW Programprogram may be consideredto be engaging in a manufacturing operation when this is done.5.7.1.3 RecycleIf materials are to be recycled
44、on-site, they do not need to be packaged according to DOTprotocol. Some itemsmay be bulked or packaged into larger containers according to facility protocol and local regulations.5.7.1.4 Treatment or Disposal on-SiteOn-SiteMany water-based cleaners and non-hazardousnonhazardous liquid materialsmay b
45、e sewered if the site is connected to the local wastewater treatment plant and has permission from the plant to do so. Someacids and bases may also be neutralized and sewered on-site in accordance with local or state regulations. Materials do not needto be packaged according to DOT protocol if treat
46、ed or sewered on-site. A site safety or operational plan should be developed todescribe in detail the process used to treat or dispose of wastes on-site.5.7.1.5 Non-hazardousNonhazardous solids may be disposed of using the facilitys solid waste management service andcontainer.5.7.1.6 Energy Recovery
47、If an energy recovery option is available on-site (that is, used oil furnace, municipal solid wasteincinerator), the material should be handled and packaged according to the facilitys standard protocol and all applicableregulations.5.7.2 Off-Site Management and PackagingMaterials that will be shippe
48、d off-site for further management at recycling, energyrecovery, incineration, or land disposal facilities should conform to DOT regulations. This includes the packaging of the materialsD6346 173and selecting a receiving facility that conforms to local regulations governing the management of hazardou
49、s materials. Therefore,it makes sense to initially package all materials which will leave the site in accordance with DOT regulations. These packagingmethods are fully detailed in DOT regulations, 49CFR 49 CFR Parts 171178. These regulations describe the specific containertypes, packaging procedures, and container labeling required for each sub-category of material identified in 5.2.15.5.1. HHWProgramsprograms that intend to package their own materials need to become familiar with DOT regulations in order to properlypackage materials. Programs m
