Household product waste (HPW) and household hazardous waste(HHW) comprise a relatively small portion of the municipal solid wastestream. Yet, because improper handling and management of some ofthese wastes can pose environmental concerns, many communitieshave developed permanent locations to collect these materials whileothers hold periodic collection days or events to which residents bringtheir materials for proper management.

However, in the southern states, many communities do not have special collection systems or programs for the management of HPWand HHW. There are many reasons for this, including a lack of resources,higher priority on other environmental issues or undetermined need.

SOUTHERN STATES HHW SURVEYIn 1996, the Southern States Waste Management Coalition (SSWMC)conducted a survey of HHW and HPW collection and management programs in the southern states. Information was obtained from 114communities in 14 states using an original survey. In addition, stateofficials provided summary data. The information and data were basedon programs at permanent collection locations and collection days andevents held during 1995.

Of the 114 communities providing information, 32 provided a breakdown of materials collected. Paints and paint-related materials,e.g., thinners, were the largest single components collected. Other significant materials collected included used motor oil, lead-acid batteries and tires. Over half of the materials collected were managed

as hazardous materials and about one-fourth of the materials weremanaged as non-hazardous materials. Over half of the non-hazardousmaterials were recycled. Not all of the communities that provided information accounted for management of all materials.

The cost of permanent collection locations and collection days andevents varied widely. Funding for programs was generally derived fromlandfill surcharges, state and local funds and product taxes/fees.Respondents listed public education and funding among the greatestprogram needs.

While SSWMC is cautious about drawing conclusions about HHW programs in the region due to the small sample size, the survey doesprovide important general information about such programs.

PURPOSE OF THE RESOURCE GUIDEOfficials in many communities receive calls from residents asking howto properly dispose of HPW and HHW, yet they often lack good information about what to tell these callers. The primary purpose ofthis Resource Guide is to help local solid waste officials provideguidance on the management of HPW and HHW to residents whohave limited or no access to HPW and HHW collection programs.The Resource Guide can also provide local governments with a greaterunderstanding of the management issues associated with specific HPWand HHW and help communities that have existing collection programsor want to develop better collection programs understand which wastesthey should target.

HOUSEHOLD PRODUCT WASTE MANAGEMENT

PROPER WASTE DISPOSALWaste management options vary tremendously across the U.S.Advances in environmental science and waste handling technologieshave greatly improved the understanding of environmental impactsand the ability to safely manage wastes. However, there is no singlebest way to manage all forms of municipal solid waste.

This is evidenced by the wide acceptance of integrated waste management, which seeks a proper balance of options (source reduction, reuse, recycling, composting, combustion and landfilling),

based on the needs and priorities of each community. The concept ofintegrated waste management can also be applied to household hazardous wastes. The ability or inability of a community to safelymanage a household waste may determine the need for special collection.

For this reason, the Resource Guide contains information about safeand acceptable disposable practices of a wide variety of household product waste (leftover product and product containers), not justthose perceived as hazardous. Product categories include Automotiveand Engine Products, Household Cleaning Products, HouseholdMaintenance Products, Hobby Products, Pesticides/Lawn and GardenProducts, Personal Care Products and Miscellaneous Products. Usethe information as a guide for safe disposal of unwanted householdproduct waste and product containers, as a resource for developing orimproving community collection programs to recycle and/or reuseproducts or to develop community education programs. Importantly,the waste management options suggested by the user of this Guidefor each product will, and should, depend on the waste disposal systems available to area residents.

It is important to recognize that there are two safety aspects to household product safety: safety during use (human safety) and safety of disposal (environmental safety). Environmental and humansafety are completely different issues in terms of both scientific evaluations and government regulations. During disposal, we are concerned about ensuring the safety of products for sanitation workers, for the environment in which the products are disposed andabout minimizing human exposures from the environment, i.e.,preventing something toxic from going down the drain that could endup in drinking water.

This document focuses on safe disposal of unused products and theircontainers. It does not focus on the impact the product can have onpeople while it is being used or if it is accidentally misused. For safeuse and disposal, residents are advised to read and follow label directions on products.

PROPER HOUSEHOLD PRODUCT USEThe most important action consumers can take to safely use andmanage household product waste and household hazardous waste isto read and follow label directions.

Most household products list toll-free 800 numbers or companyaddresses to call or write for specific use or management information.Even though manufacturers formulate products to ensure that theyare safe or have very low risk during use and when following packagedirections, human health effects may still result from accidents due tounintended exposure. Following the suggested precautions on theproduct label may help to prevent accidents from occurring.

If an accident does occur, residents should be advised to contact alocal poison control center or the toll-free number on the product.Residents should post the phone number of their local poison controlcenter on the telephone for immediate access in the case of an accident. The number can often be found in the front of their telephone book.

Because of the importance of reminding consumersto read and follow label directions, this icon is displayed in the Special Considerations column withevery product category in this Resource Guide. Someproduct categories include additional information toemphasize certain risks in case the product label isignored.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW Because automobiles are so prevalent in our society,facilities to manage wastes, such as brake fluid, usedmotor oil, oil and gas mixtures, and lead-acid batteries,are generally common to all areas of the country.Through private businesses, government-sponsored collection facilities or programs, or non-profit enterprises,nearly every resident in the region should have access to existing facilities for proper disposal of these products.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS● Read and follow label directions on product labels.● Do not mix any products when using or disposing

unless specifically directed by the manufacturer’sinstructions. Mixing may render them non-recyclable.However, oil and gas mixtures for some small enginesare necessary.

REDUCE/REUSE/RECYCLE INFORMATION● Buy only the amount needed and use it all.● Store properly. Refer to PROCEDURE 5 for storage.

When properly stored, automotive products can be usedfor future jobs.

● Donate or exchange leftover products. Refer to PROCEDURE 2 for handling. Offer usable products inoriginal containers with labels intact to neighbors, community groups, schools, churches and others whocan use them.

MANAGEMENT OPTIONSMost liquid automotive products, such as gasoline andoils, should not be poured down drains, on the ground orplaced in the trash. Even where government sponsoredfacilities do not exist, nearly every resident has access toprivate businesses, such as oil change shops, that routinely accept automotive products for recyclingand/or disposal. In some states, retailers are required toaccept and/or exchange products such as lead-acid batteries. There should be no reason for a resident tohave a disposal problem with such products.

Disposal options include taking unused products to service stations, auto service centers, automobile dealerships, Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection sites and automotive parts retailers for properdisposal and management. To ensure that products willbe accepted, residents should always call before takingunused automotive products to any of these outlets.

For specific information about a product, contactthe toll-free number on the label. If there is no number available, write to the company for further information.

PROCEDURES

1.How to Recondition Old Gasoline or Gasoline Contaminated with Water

B. Procedure to Recondition Gasoline Contaminated with Water

● Water will sink to the bottom of the container. Use a mechanical syphon or pour as much gasoline as possible off the top, leavingmostly water in the bottom of the container. The remaining watermay be allowed to evaporate outside, away from the house andsources of heat, spark, flame or ignition. This option should only be recommended if local air pollution officials approve.

● Gasohol (10% ethyl alchohol) or isopropanol (a fuel dryer) may be mixed with the gasoline to break up small amounts of water.This prevents large quantities of water from entering the engine atonce. Follow directions on the product label.

● Use the gasoline by mixing it with new gasoline at a 1:5 ratio (1 part reconditioned gasoline to 5 parts new gasoline).

2.Proper Packaging, Handling and Transportation of Household Hazardous Waste to an Exchange Program or an HHW Event/Site

When transporting wastes to an exchange program, HHW event or collection site, the following safety precautions should be taken:

A. Procedure to Recondition Old Gasoline

● Filter gasoline into a safety-approved container through two layers of thin cloth or a coffee filter to remove any solids orsemi-solids. The cloth or paper can be dried outside, away from the house and sources of heat, spark, flame or ignition. It can then be disposed of with the trash destined for the landfill.

● Use the filtered gasoline by mixing with new gasoline at a 1:5 ratio (1 part reconditioned gasoline to 5 parts newgasoline.

● An octane booster may also be added to further restorevolatility. Octane booster can be purchased at a gasoline station or auto supply store.

● Keep all wastes in their original containers, with labels intact. Seal them tightly.

● Do not mix any wastes together or with other materials orproducts.

● Place the containers upright in a cardboard box.● Leaking cans or containers should be placed inside another

container that is not leaking, then placed upright in a cardboard box. If the second container obstructs the labels from the original container, clearly label the second container with the chemical and/or product name.

● Do not leave wastes locked in an unattended vehicle.● Do not leave wastes in a car parked in the sun for any period

of time.● Transport the wastes in the trunk of the car, the back of

the van or secured on a truck bed.● Do not smoke, eat or drink when packing wastes,

transporting them in a car or at the collection site.

PROCEDURES

3.Disposal of Approved Chemicals Down Household Drains Connected to Either a Sewer System or a Septic Tank System

Whether a household drain is connected to a municipal sewersystem or a septic tank system, certain chemicals may be disposed down the drain. In order to prevent damage to theresident, plumbing, sewage treatment facility or septic tanksystem, certain disposal practices should be followed. If thelisting for a particular chemical states that it is acceptable todispose down a household drain connected to a sewer systemor down a septic tank system that is properly sited and maintained, the following steps and conditions must beobserved. Note that there are specific household chemicalwaste listings that only permit disposal down a drain if itis connected to a sewer system.

● Check the label or call the manufacturer for dilution and/ordisposal instructions.

● Due to the risk of personal injury or damage to plumbing systems by some products, dilution of these products and pouring them down the drain must be done with EXTREMECAUTION.

● Wear eye protection, clothing that covers exposed skin, and rubber gloves for products with identified exposure hazards,e.g., corrosives.

● Fill a large plastic bucket with water. SLOWLY add up to1/2 cup of chemical product to the water. Always add the product to the water and NOT the water to the product. Beware of splash. Some products may splatter or react violently when water is added.

● Never mix chemicals.● With protective gear still in place, flush waste mixture

from the bucket down the sink using large amounts of water. Pour slowly and carefully to avoid splashing.

● Turn the faucet on and let it run on full for 2 to 3 minutes.● Do not pour different types of products down the drain

at the same time.● If you will be pouring more of the same product or

another product down the drain, wait at least 1/2 hour.Follow the same procedures.

● Do not pour more than 1 cup of total product down thedrain in any 24-hour period. In other words, no more than 2 doses of the product (1/2 cup per dose), either of two different types or the same type, in a 24-hour period.

55

PROCEDURES

4.Procedures for Solidification of a Product

A safety measure that should be taken for either small- or large- quantity solidification is to use plenty of ventilation duringthe drying out of leftover products and to keep away from children and pets.

A. For Small Quantities of Liquid, Such As an Inch or Two in the Bottom of a Can:● Remove lid and add nonflammable absorbent, such as cat

box filler, concrete mix, etc.● Stir until all the liquid is absorbed.● Allow to dry. Make sure the liquid waste is dry and hard,

not just absorbed.● Place the dry can and lid along side or on top of your trash

destined for the landfill. Leave the lid off the can so thehauler can see that it is dry.

B. For Large Quantities● Mix nonflammable absorbent (cat box filler, concrete mix,

etc.) and the product in a bucket or sturdy cardboard box lined with a garbage bag.- Pour some absorbent in the bottom of the container and add the liquid slowly while stirring.- Continue to alternate the absorbent with the liquid and stir. The end product should be similar in texture to theabsorbent.

● Once the liquid is solidified, place the absorbent and containerinside a garbage bag, seal it tightly and dispose of it in the trash destined for the landfill.

5.Proper Storage of Household Chemical Products

Products with hazardous constituents must be carefully stored to prevent accidental discharges and to protect children andpets from being exposed to the product. As a general rule, these products should be stored in the following manner:

● Out of reach of children and pets in a locked cabinet or on a stable, high shelf.

● In tightly closed containers.● Away from sources of heat, flame, or sparks. Many products

may be flammable or toxic.● Away from food.● In a dry and well-ventilated area.● In their original containers, never in food or beverage bottles.● If a container gets wet, damaged or begins to corrode, keep the

product in original container and place the damaged containerinside a plastic bucket with a tight-fitting lid. Clearly label thecontainer and include any label warnings from the product.

● Do not mix with any other materials.● Know what type of fire extinguisher is needed for flammable

materials. Keep this type of fire extinguisher in close proximityto the flammable products and in working order.

● If an acute exposure to any product has occurred, contact the Poison Control Center for your state. This number can be foundin the emergency section of most telephone books. Somemanufacturers have toll-free numbers on the product label thatcould also be called for information.
