Material Labeling

Accurate labeling of your waste material is key to our ongoing quality assurance program. Correct labeling ensures safe handling and processing of materials. Covanta Secure Services can provide labels to each Client location. If you are interested in this service, please contact your Account Executive.

In general, please use the following guidelines:

1. Each movable unit must be labeled. A movable unit may be defined as a:
   • box
   • drum
   • cubic yard box (Gaylord) or bag (super-sack)
   • palletized and shrink-wrapped set of boxes or drums
   • dumpster
   • roll-off
   • dump trailer
2. Labeling must include the following on each unit:
   • The words "nonhazardous" or "non-RCRA regulated"
   • The name of the waste(s) contained within the individual unit, as it appears on the approval package
   • The corresponding Covanta Secure Services approval number(s) as well as the applicable State approval number(s)
3. If the packaging container has any additional markings or labeling from previous use which are not applicable to the waste, you may either:
   • completely cover or remove the markings/labels, or
   • place a label on the containers to be reused which states:

     "This container is being reused for packaging purposes only. The original label is not representative of the contents of the container."

If you have questions regarding packaging of unique waste streams please contact your Covanta Secure Services Account Executive for assistance @ 800.950.8749.
