/ Paints, paint thinner, paint brushes and cans

Analysis

· Unused products may be disposed based on the MSDS
· Only if necessary, for mixtures, check ignitability and the presents of TCLP metals

Accumulation

/ · Store in closed drums or containers
· Separate paints and associated wastes from other waste streams
· Contact the EH&S Department to determine whether the waste will be a hazardous waste, and if sampling will be required.

Waste Reduction
