BEST WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES HOW THEY
BENEFIT THE SITES
2
HAVE A PLAN

• Before starting up a new system or converting
  data from one system to another, have a plan of
  action.
• How can you develop a plan of action?

THE LEARNING CURVE

• There will always be a learning curve. The key
  is to know when to make a change and when to work
  around an issue.
• If you make a procedural change how will it
  impact your data?
• Is it a significant impact? Can you live with
  the past data being inaccurate or do you have to
  go back and change it.

Best Management Practices

• Best is a relative term. Whats best for me is
  not always best for you.
• If you use DRMO for waste disposal, get on board
  with the automatic data transfer as soon as you
  are comfortable.
• Minimize the number of waste profiles you need
  as much as you can.
• Create as many collection sites as you need to
  identify where the waste is generated.
• When sending data to DRMO, be careful about
  using document numbers that are close. If it can
  be messed up, it will be.

• Totaling up the parts washer waste at the end of
  the year and creating 1 container number for it
  all so that it prints on the Biennial has worked
  well as a work around.
• Lab packs are tricky and we have not found an
  easy way to put these is the system other than
  one at a time.
• We have created a HDSC called DRMO. All DRMO
  turn-ins are transferred to this HDSC and
  received on to one of three shelf bins Sales,
  Reutilization, or Waste. This removes it from
  the warehouse inventory.

• Dont convert data if you can start fresh
  faster and have good quality data.
• You can convert data from almost any electronic
  format (i.e. Form Filler)
• Take time to cover all the bases.
• Do the data entry yourself or make sure that you
  revue it, if done by data entry personnel
• The system is designed to have waste streams to
  accommodate state requirements. If this is not a
  requirement of your state, keep these at a
  minimum.

• If you decide to change employee Id numbers, this
  does not transfer to the waste collection site
  screens and will remove your data, thus no one
  will have access to the collection sites. Its
  best to decide what you want to use at the
  beginning and dont change it.
