Non-recyclable,non-regulated solid waste will be <br /> rejected or placed into garbage dumpsters for disposal at the County's expense. <br /> The appropriate packaging method for each container is determined in accordance with container <br /> size,type,hazardous characteristics,and quantity of waste. We have detailed our packaging <br /> guidelines in Section 8 of our response. <br /> Managing Unknowns <br /> The safe and economical disposal of unknown chemicals is an ever-present problem for <br /> household hazardous waste collection programs.

Only personnel that have passed Unknowns <br /> Training with a score of 80%or higher are allowed to perform a fingerprint analysis. <br /> Company Confidential 24 www.cleanharbors.com <br />
