【Sea and River Safety Discussion】Do containers holding hazardous waste or chemical substances count as hazardous waste?

Are there specific regulations? ? ? ? @Book Boy @WiseOne

It counts; it’s of the HW49 category. Containers holding toxic and harmful solvents.

1: After being cleaned, are the metal drums contaminated with sealant from automobile manufacturing companies considered hazardous waste, and can they be disposed of by ordinary industrial waste disposal facilities? 　　Content: During the manufacturing processes of welding, painting, and final assembly of vehicles, the metal containers used for sealing adhesives become contaminated with these adhesives after they are used up. If the adhesive residue on these metal containers is cleaned off using appropriate solvents, do they still constitute hazardous waste? Can they then be disposed of by ordinary industrial waste disposal facilities? 　　Response: Hello, we encourage your company to use legitimate facilities and equipment to reduce the amount of hazardous waste generated by itself at the source and to recycle it. Packaging containers that are not contaminated with infectious or toxic hazardous waste do not need to be managed as hazardous waste. Thank you for your attention and support!

II. Can waste packaging drums that are classified as hazardous waste be used to hold other hazardous wastes? 　　Content: Can 200L iron waste packaging drums, which belong to the HW49 category of hazardous waste such as oil waste drums and paint waste drums, be used to store sludge belonging to the HW17 category? 　　Response: Hello, Article 58 of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Wastes stipulates that hazardous waste must be collected and stored in a manner that takes into account its specific characteristics. The mixed collection, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous waste with incompatible properties that has not undergone safe treatment are prohibited. Thank you for your attention and support!

Well, but for its original purpose it is not treated as hazardous waste

Can it be washed and reused? ? ? ?

From the perspective of current hazardous waste management, this approach is encouraged
