Current through August 26, 2024

Standards apply to the condition of the containers, to the compatibility of waste with the containers and to the management of the containers.

(1) CONDITION OF CONTAINERS. If a container holding hazardous waste is not in good condition (for example, it exhibits severe rusting or apparent structural defects) or if it begins to leak, you shall either:

(a) Transfer the hazardous waste from this container to a container that is in good condition.

(b) Manage the waste in some other way that complies with the requirements of this section.

(2) COMPATIBILITY OF WASTE WITH CONTAINERS. To ensure that the ability of the container to contain the waste is not impaired, use a container made of or lined with materials that are compatible and will not react with the hazardous waste to be stored.

(3) MANAGEMENT OF CONTAINERS.

(a) Always keep a container holding hazardous waste closed during storage, except when you add or remove waste.

(b) Do not open, handle or store a container holding hazardous waste in a manner that may rupture the container or cause it to leak.
