In-process Containers
"In-process" describes material that is being used,
and is not a waste. Sometimes, materials have to be temporarily
removed from a process and placed into containers. A container
holding in-process material is called an in-process container.
The contents of an in-process container will eventually be
returned to the original process.
An example of an in-process container is a drum that
is used to temporarily hold the oil from a klystron
while the klystron is being serviced.
Obtaining a container for in-process materials
The same types of containers
that are available for hazardous waste accumulation are available
for in-process material accumulation. To request containers,
submit a completed Hazardous
Waste Pick-up and Empty Container Request Form.
Labeling requirements
It is important to label in-process containers so that they
are not confused for hazardous waste containers. Containers
that are issued by Waste Management for in-process material
accumulation are generally pre-labeled with a
Generic
Container Label.
