Proper Storage and Collection of Waste Materials

Effective management of excess, obsolete, or waste materials begins with one foundational step:

having the right containers for every material type your business generates.

When handled correctly, most of these materials can—and should—be reused or recycled.

Some materials may:

  • Be considered valuable assets
  • Contain confidential data
  • Possess hazardous properties that require special handling and storage

To manage them safely and compliantly, you’ll need designated solutions such as:

  • Containers
  • Boxes
  • Bins
  • Carts

🛠️ Did you know?

In most cases, businesses are responsible for sourcing their own containers and labels. Some vendors may provide them—but often at an additional cost.

California Compliance Matters

Proper labeling is a legal requirement in California for many types of materials. Labels must clearly indicate:

  • The type of material
  • The date it was first stored
