Products deemed unsaleable at a retail establishment 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, it must be further classified as hazardous, regulated or non-hazardous, in compliance with EPA, DOT, DEA and various State regulations. Since these determinations have significant consequences, it is best to have a trained waste management technician make the decision. Below are a few examples of the many retail products that are potentially hazardous.
