Does this picture look familiar? Every day, hotels dispose of wastes that have hazardous components. Hotels and resorts, as well as other businesses, may use a variety of hazardous products in their day-to-day operations, ranging from cleaning chemicals and pesticides to fluorescent light bulbs and batteries. When these items are discarded, they need to be managed as hazardous waste because of toxic, ignitable, or corrosive characteristics. Unfortunately, when these waste streams are not properly managed, they often get thrown in the trash or poured down the drain. This training will provide an overview of common hazardous wastes; how to comply with the regulations; and prevention measures designed to reduce hazardous waste generation. Find out how to minimize, manage, and track these wastes in accordance to Nevada and US EPA regulations. This FREE seminar will also address sustainable practices and strategies for greening your hotel.
