PROCEDURES FOR STORAGE OF WASTE MANAGEMENT

THIS IS A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION

1. PROCEDURES FOR STORAGE AND   DISPOSAL OF WASTE MATERIALS

2. INTRODUCTION Industrial revolution and technology development, consumption patterns of the people have changed. The use of natural resources and goods has increased manifold. Due to this, huge quantities of different types of solid wastes are produced every day, creating an alarming problem of their disposal. 2

3. INTRODUCTION It is now recognized that proactive management is required to deal with this problem, it is required to reduce the generation of solid waste, effective collection of solid waste and utilization of solid waste rather than concentrating on disposal alone. 3

4. Storage and disposal is the process of storing and disposing hazardous or non-hazardous waste deep underground in order to control pollution. The process is also conducted in a way which safeguards underground water sources. Hazardous waste management facilities receive hazardous wastes for treatment, storage, or disposal. 4

5. Some treatment processes enable the wastes to be recovered and reused in manufacturing settings while other treatment processes dramatically reduce the amount of the hazardous wastes. Storage facilities temporarily hold hazardous wastes until they are treated or disposed. 5

6. General Farm Waste  Storage  Locate farm waste storage areas away from food handling, input storage and livestock housing areas to prevent cross-contamination and avoid attracting pests.  Make sure farm waste storage areas and containers are adequate for the amount of waste generated between disposal times.  Clean farm waste storage areas often enough to avoid creating conditions that can cause cross-contamination or attract pests.  Where possible, use containers with lids for the storage of farm waste until removal. 6

7. General Farm Waste   Disposal Remove farm waste often enough and in a manner to prevent cross-contamination and avoid attracting pests. Dispose of all materials according to municipal by-laws and provincial regulations. If farm waste can be used by other sectors, store and ship them so as not to pose a food safety hazard. Unless properly sanitized, vehicles used for transporting farm waste should not be used to transport food products and farm inputs. 7

8. Used Pesticide Containers Storage Triple-rinse all empty pesticide containers by following these steps: Fill empty containers with water to a minimum of one-tenth of the container size. Rinse by recapping the container and shaking or rolling. Empty pesticide container contents into sprayer tank. Repeat steps 1 to 3 two times. Do not reuse pesticide containers for storage of other items. 8

9. Used Pesticide Containers Disposal Take rinsed containers to a pesticide container collection site for recycling. There are four options to dispose of unwanted pesticides: Return unopened pesticide container to the dealer.  Apply pesticide to another crop specified on the label. Pay a Hazardous Waste Disposal Company to dispose of the pesticide. Participate in the Pesticide Return of the government and pesticide industry. 9

10. DEADSTOCK Storage Remove, compost or bury all regulated dead animals according to provincial regulations. Locate deadstock burial pit and composting site away from:  Animal housing,  Fruit or vegetable production areas,  Areas of high livestock or human traffic, and  Any sources of water. Protect all stored deadstock from other livestock, poultry and predators and away from public view. 10

11. DEADSTOCK Disposal Choose a method of regulated dead animal disposal. These include:  Composting at least 15 m from any watercourse and 30 m from any source of water used for domestic purposes;  Burial at least 30 m from any source of water used for domestic purposes and pits constructed to prevent pollution. 11

12. HANDLING WASTE MATERIALS 12 Waste management is the process of treating wastes, and it offers a variety of solutions for recycling items that don’t belong in the trash. This is a process that each and every household and business owner in the world needs. Waste management disposes of the products and substances that you have used in a safe and efficient manner. HANDLING WASTE MATERIALS Waste management is the process of treating wastes, and it offers a variety of solutions for recycling items that don’t belong in the trash. This is a process that each and every household and business owner in the world needs. Waste management disposes of theproducts and substances that you have used in a safe and efficient manner.1. Evaluate your waste  –  to be able to handle the waste properly, the company first needs todetermine whether the waste is hazardous or not, and whether handling of that particularwaste is regulated by legislation. This step is often called classification or categorizationof the waste.2.  Store your waste    –  depending on the type of waste, there will be different requirements interms of storage facilities. Waste can be in solid or liquid form, so it is important to store itaccording to its characteristics. Hazardous waste must be stored in a sturdy, leak-proofcontainer that is kept closed when not adding or removing waste. Different kinds of wastemay require different types of storage containers. The container must be labeled with the words “ Hazardous Waste “, a clear descriptio n of the contents, and the date when thewaste is first placed in the container. Containers must be stored on an impermeablesurface with enough aisle space to allow for weekly container inspections. Additional requirements for outdoor storage include:   Controlling access to the containers   Protecting the containers from the elements   Storing containers of liquid waste on a curbed and impermeable surface tocontain accidental leaks3. Label the waste    –   nonhazardous waste doesn’t have to be labeled in any special way. On the other hand, hazardous waste labeling is often prescribed by law and in mostcountries, the company must obtain a license for even generating some kinds ofhazardous waste. The label for marking packed hazardous waste usually contains thefollowing information: Warning:  HAZARDOUS WASTE Information about the waste owner who packed the waste: name, address, telephone,date of packaging, name and surname of the person qualified to be responsible forthat job. Physical characteristics of the waste: powder, solid, viscous substances, pastes, sludge,liquid substance, gaseous substances.
