You may be confused of where to dispose the off spec chemicals that you have. These come from your various businesses that are no longer used. Unused materials must be disposed but you cannot just throw it like a simple trash since you are dealing with chemicals. The best way is to find someone who can perhaps reuse it.
Often times, the manufacturer will take them back and reformulate or reclaim them. But, if someone else can legally reclaim or use them, then they are not a waste under any of the dangerous waste rules. However, if you will burn them as fuel and using them not normally then they are considered as wastes and subject to some dangerous waste requirements.
Same status will happen if these materials are used and place on the ground or anywhere which can result to some risks. An unused substance must be considered as misuse for it to be known as a hazard. But, if it can be used for certain processes then it is not. If no one can readily reclaim it then dispose them properly.
As you can be a misuse generator, you must evaluate all your unused substances in accordance with a specific rule to determine if it is dangerous substance or the other way around. You can evaluate them using knowledge of chemical and physical properties of the various materials. Or, you can do analyzing a sample of it.
You need to identify if a certain substance is on your lists of dangerous substance or just a piece of it. If the materials are no longer of importance for you and no one else seems want it too then you may just dispose it. It is not easy as you think if may be though. Do not just directly go to the landfill and you are good to go.
Instead, you are required to send them directly to some tested storage for dangerous chemicals for treatment and other disposal facility. You can surely find some in other places if not in your own area. Do not throw them immediately anywhere as it can lead to various risks to happen. You also need to have a permit if you will burn everything down to be used as energy.
Many will take advantage of them as energy recovery. They will burn these chemicals down or used them to create a fuel that cannot really be a good idea to have. This is actually the reason why getting a permit is necessary. You are deeply responsible for all the substances that you are bringing with you.
Generators of off spec chemicals must also follow the rules that require proper management while on the site, use of proper chemical transporter, use of proper manifest and record keeping and other reporting requirements. If you can generate more than the expectation then you have to file a report. The report will include the information about the materials that you have generated.
A report is not just a simple report as it must contain all the details about the off spec chemicals you are carrying. Consider the previous years of generating these materials and not just the present times you are having them. For you to be more informed, you need to consult for some guidance regarding waste management.
