Waste Handling & Disposal SC-34 <br />■ Do not mix wastes; this can cause chemical reactions, make recycling impossible, and <br />complicate disposal. <br />Good Housekeeping <br />■ Use all of the product before disposing of the container. <br />■ Keep the waste management area clean at all times by sweeping and cleaning up spills <br />immediately. <br />■ Use dry methods when possible (e.g., sweeping, use of absorbents) when cleaning around <br />restaurant/food handling dumpster areas. If water must be used after sweeping/using <br />absorbents, collect water and discharge through grease interceptor to the sewer. <br />Chemical/Hazardous Wastes <br />■ Select designated hazardous waste collection areas on -site. <br />■ Store hazardous materials and wastes in covered containers and protect them from <br />vandalism. <br />■ Place hazardous waste containers in secondary containment. <br />■ Make sure that hazardous waste is collected, removed, and disposed of only at authorized <br />disposal areas. <br />■ Stencil or demarcate storm drains on the facility's property with prohibitive message <br />regarding waste disposal. <br />Run-on/Runoff Prevention <br />■ Prevent stormwater run-on from entering the waste management area by enclosing the area <br />or building a berm around the area. <br />■ Prevent waste materials from directly contacting rain. <br />■ Cover waste piles with temporary covering material such as reinforced tarpaulin, <br />polyethylene, polyurethane, polypropyleneor hypalon. <br />■ Cover the area with a permanent roof if feasible. <br />■ Cover dumpsters to prevent rain from washing waste out of holes or cracks in the bottom of <br />the dumpster. <br />■ Move the activity indoor after ensuring all safety concerns such as fire hazard and <br />ventilation are addressed. <br />Inspection <br />■ Inspect and replace faulty pumps or hoses regularly to minimize the potential of releases and <br />spills. <br />■ Check waste management areas for leaking containers or spills. <br />January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 5 <br />Industrial and Commercial <br />www.cabmphandbooks.com <br />
