DocuSign Envelope ID: E53DCC3C-B8E8-410C-BB50-A039C27BD393 <br /> Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC. <br /> 1433 E. 83 Ave., Ste. 200 <br /> TRAD E B E Merrillville, IN 46410 <br /> participant depending on the material. If there is concern about the proper handling of the material the, <br /> Technician will contact their Operations Manager to determine the best course of action. <br /> The unloader will then carefully remove all acceptable material and place it on a plastic cart. If a waste item is <br /> determined to be too heavy or large in size for the unloading cart, the unloader will request that a drum cart or <br /> forklift be used to transport the waste item to the appropriate workstation. The chemist will segregate and help <br /> pack waste that is collected. Any lab pack material (items requiring special attention) will be packed by a <br /> qualified chemist. <br /> Tradebe will ask that the participant identify any unlabeled material found in the vehicle. This information will <br /> immediately be written on the container with a permanent marker. If it cannot be identified, the material will be <br /> taken to the screening area for analysis. <br /> ON-SITE BULKING <br /> Tradebe will be able to bulk on-site latex paint, pourable oil based paint and flammable liquids into 55 gallon <br /> drums. A bulking station will be set up away from the receiving area where cars will be coming through. The <br /> bulking stations will be setup on spill pads and will be grounded in order to avoid any static electricity sparks <br /> from generating. A spill response kit containing a shovel and Oil-Dry will be on hand in case of any accidental <br /> spill. <br /> WASTE IDENTIFICATION/PACKAGING <br /> A segregation station will be set up with tables covered with plastic. Empty waste containers will be arranged a <br /> few feet behind the segregation tables. Tradebe's fully trained Technician will manage this workstation. <br /> Tradebe's employee will examine the labels of the individual containers to determine the list of chemical <br /> constituents and their concentrations. From this information, the chemist will be able to determine the proper <br /> hazard class and packaging protocol for the waste item. If the chemist requires additional information, the <br /> waste item will be further analyzed through Tradebe's unknown testing procedures. Absorbent materials, such <br /> as oil dry, spill pads, and cotton rags will also be present on-site, in case of a spill. Most of the items received <br /> at the segregation table will be lab packed or loose packed. <br /> All waste material that is unloaded at the segregation table will be placed in UN-rated/DOT approved <br /> containers. The field chemists will then pack the waste items according to Tradebe's Lab Pack Guidelines, <br /> which are based on DOT and EPA regulations. In some cases, Tradebe's guidelines are more stringent than <br /> DOT or EPA's regulations for packaging waste material. Once the drum is closed, the chemists will add the <br /> appropriate labels for shipment to Tradebe. These labels and markings include: <br /> ❑ Non-Regulated Waste Label <br /> ❑ DOT hazard class, as required <br /> ❑ Drum inventory sheet, if lab pack drum <br /> ❑ Tradebe waste stream number or lab pack number <br /> UNKNOWN IDENTIFICATION <br /> Tradebe will provide assistance to the County in identifying any unknowns they come across during their waste <br /> receiving process. <br /> Tradebe's chemists will sample and test the waste materials utilizing Tradebe's Unknown Testing Procedures. <br /> From the field analysis, Tradebe's chemists should be able to determine hazard class and proper packaging <br /> protocol. <br /> Sustainability at Work 30 <br />
