DIY Hazardous Waste Bins

As a commercial customer, safely disposing of hazardous waste like burned out CFL's or batteries from your facility is your responsibility.  Unlike residential customers, commercial customers are expected to make their own drop offs for such waste items to a community hazardous waste collection center.  But how do you make sure your employees and co-workers properly store these items for collection?

Time for a simple DIY project to ensure your organization's batteries, old cleaning solutions, and other hazardous materials don't miss the next ride to the collection center:
  • Step 1: Purchase or find any clean bin with a properly fitting lid. (Landlords of multi-family housing units can even request a free orange bucket for this purpose from Marborg- info here). 
  • Step 2: Attach a Sundowner Universal Waste Poster ($8 for a printable PDF) to it.  
  • Step 3:  Voila! You have a bin with some excellent signage ready to accept hazardous waste.   
     
 Read on for more information on how to properly handle hazardous waste as a commercial customer.
