Products deemed unsaleable at a distribution center should be kept segregated from saleable merchandise. Each unsaleable item should then be identified as either returnable to the manufacturer, resold, able to be reused via donation, or as waste. When identified as waste, the item must be further classified as hazardous, regulated or non-hazardous, in compliance with EPA, DOT and DEA regulations.

Furthermore, the amount of hazardous waste generated at each distribution center can impact EPA hazardous waste generator status, with significant consequences. In addition, each state and local government entity may place further restrictions on the disposal of items generated by distribution centers. StrongPak offers you access to the knowledge and expertise needed to successfully comply with all applicable local, state and federal regulations.
