management!

Who Is This For?!EH&S
Manager
Reducing waste
Facilities Manager
Space constraints
Procurement
Reducing spend
a) Never!b) Every couple of years!c) Annually!d) Quarterly!!
How often do you review your waste management program?!
!• Review waste profiles!• Look at volume trends for waste
streams!• Where does the cost come from? !
• Labor onsite!• Containers !• The disposal technology!• The composition of a waste stream!
What Does the Review Consist Of?!
You Might Be Thinking...!• Increased liability!• Space!• Time to implement!• Other departments’
involvement!
Our Key Message!
It’s your waste management program, not your vendor’s. Take the initiative and drive

Agenda!Reduce Waste
Efficient Management
Reduce Spend
!• Don’t generate the waste in the first place!• Determine the source of the waste
generation!• Ensure waste determination was made
correctly!• Sometimes a small contaminant makes a
bigger mess!• Example: Listed wastes !
!
Elimination!
!• Determine if it makes sense to use a
non-hazardous product instead!• You may want to explore using a
stronger product to reduce volume !!
Substitution !
!• Can you reintroduce the waste into the
process?!• See if another department can use your
waste as a feedstock for their process!• Example: Sodium hydroxide in
wastewater treatment!• Find out if there is a secondary market for
your product !
Recycling!
Agenda!Reduce Waste
Efficient Management
Reduce Spend
!• Small containers = higher cost!
• Material handling!• Processing/sampling!• Transportation!
• Larger containers = lower cost!
Economy of Scale!
Recommendation: Pack as you go!
Lab Pack Loose Pack
Bulk Drum
Bulk Load
!• Logistics – have space for management!• Store more, ship less within compliance!• It’s not looked at as revenue space for the
business but can be a big expense if there isn’t enough space!
Space Constraints!
!• Waste comes out last so it’s always
thought about last !• A Main Accumulation Area doesn’t have to
be at or near the point of generation, but it sure is handy!
Design with the End in Mind!
Can I get larger trucks to the
waste?!
Agenda!Reduce Waste
Efficient Management
Reduce Spend
!• Incineration vs. Fuel
Blending!• RCRA Incineration of
nonhaz!• Fuel Blending vs. Recycling!• Wastewater Treatment vs.! Stabilization!
Technology Options!
• Pros!• Depending on your state you may
have relaxed management rules!• Lowest cost solvent management
option!• Cons!
• You may be left with an expensive sludge!
• Very low tolerances in most cases!!
Solvent Recovery!
• Great option for non-recyclable non-hazardous materials!
• Lots of capacity on the East Coast!• Grey market avoidance!• In some certifications WtE can be up to
10% of your No-Landfill site !!
!!
Waste to Energy (WtE)!
!• Clean up your waste product!!
• Concentrate the desirable ! product if possible!• Splitting of phases vs. ! commingling!
Commodity vs. Waste!
!• Clear labeling (pre-printed labels)!• Easy access to the site!• Inventory system!!
Time is Money!
