Section 13: Disposal considerations
This material, if discarded as produced, is not a RCRA "listed" hazardous waste. However, it should be
fully characterized prior to disposal (40 CFR 261). Use which results in chemical or physical change or
contamination may subject it to regulation as a hazardous waste. Along with properly characterizing all
waste materials, consult state and local regulations regarding the proper disposal of this material.
Container contents should be completely used and containers should be emptied prior to discard.
Container rinsate could be considered a RCRA hazardous waste and must be disposed of with care and
in full compliance with federal, state and local regulations. Larger empty containers, such as drums,
should be returned to the distributor or to a qualified drum reconditioner. To assure
