Proper disposal of waste products including wax after performing hands spa treatment
to your clients has big impact not just in our environment but also in the general public. Each
company including beauty care establishments is strictly advised to adhere on what is being
required of occupational health and safety rules and regulations. Because we believe that

1. Prior to storing any hazardous waste items in a bin, place them individually in a sealed
plastic bag. This will keep items from mixing and causing a reaction.
2. Compatible hazardous waste items must remain separate. It’s recommended to use
designated bins for each type of hazardous waste category: aerosol and flammables,
toxics, corrosive alkaline (basic), oxidizers, and universal waste.
8
3. Damaged equipment may cause an accident or injury if it is not working correctly.
4. Store accumulation bins in a dedicated, clean and neatly organized hazardous waste
area. Make sure bins are stored away from heavy traffic areas, electrical panels, and
perishable or consumable product storage and dock doors.
5. Once the initial item is place within a bin, label the container as hazardous waste and
also include the accumulation start date and an indication of the waste. Should an
inspector ever visit your salon, proper labeling is one of the first thing they will evaluate.
6. Controlling is important for infection control, particularly in work areas, because
deposits of dust, soil and microbes on surfaces can transmit infection.
7. Written cleaning protocols should be prepare, including methods and frequency of
cleaning; protocols should be include policies for the supply of all cleaning and
disinfectant products.
8. Cleaning methods should avoid generation of aerosols.
9. All cleaning solutions should NOT be prepare fresh before use.
10. Sprays should not be used, because they can become contaminated and are difficult
to clean. Sprays are not effective, as they do not touch all parts of the surface to be
cleaned.
What’s New
CLINICAL WASTE includes items such as wax strips, pads, cotton wool buds, and
others tools used for treatments, like electrolysis and microdermabrasion. Clinical waste splits
into subcategories, including hazardous waste (like sharps), offensive waste (items
potentially contaminated in bodily fluids) and pharmaceutical waste. Theses waste products
have to be kept separate and in individual bins. No throwing needles and cotton buds together.
Remember, contaminated or potentially harmful waste fall under strict disposal regulations.
GENERAL WASTE is what is says on the tin. If it is doesn’t fit into any other type of
Waste Management (like clinically waste, shedding, bulky waste, washroom waste or
recycling), then it’s “general” and good for the standard bin. For salons, this could include
anything from clients’ hair to random rubbish like uncontaminated tissues or broken coat
hangers. Just make sure to not overfill your bin, as this could be dangerous for the people who
collect it. Waste disposal is also important for infection control. Different types of waste-
general, clinical and pharmaceutical-have different waste management procedures that need
to be followed.

What is It
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Contaminated waste Materials which are infected or with some measure of decay.
An agent, as heat, radiation, or a chemical, that destroys,
Disinfectant neutralizes, or prevents the growth of disease-carrying
microorganisms.
For Sharps Waste Clinical Waste, these bins are yellow with
CONTAMINATED WASTE different coloured lids to highlight the type of Clinical/Sharps
BINS waste. There are also anatomical Waste bins, a blue lid. The
bins you generally would need for a salon are the sharps
and clinical waste bin. As mentioned before they would both
need to go in separate bins, your sharps in one and clinical
in the other.
GENERAL WASTE BINS For this type of waste, they should be placed in a black bin.
The size of the bin is dependent on how much waste is
usually accumulated. At direct365 we have various sizes of
bins available, from 240-litre capacity bins (these fit in
around 3-5 full bin bags) to 1100 liter (15-20 bin bags.
10
HAZARDOUS WASTE
Hazardous waste is define as “waste with properties that make it dangerous or capable
of having a harmful effect on human health or the environment.” Hazardous waste items have
ignitable, corrosive, reactive or toxic characteristics.
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a document that lists information relating to the product’s
occupational safety and health information for the use of the product.
Examples of products that may be a RCRA hazardous waste in your beauty store or salon can
include, but are not limited to:
• Acetone/polish remover
• Nail polish
• Disinfectants used to clean hair and nail care equipment, as well as other tools
• Fluorescent bulbs
• Batteries
• Electronics
The most important first step beauty store or salon owners should take is making sure
a waste management compliance program is set in place. There are several best practices for
bagging, segregating and storing hazardous waste items that will help ensure the safety and
compliance of your program.
11
aerosol and flammables, toxics, corrosive alkaline
(basic), oxidizers, and universal waste.
Once the initial item is placed within a bin, label
the container as hazardous waste and also
Label containers properly include the accumulation start date and an
indication of the hazardous characteristics of the
waste.
Store accumulation bins in a dedicated, clean and
neatly organized hazardous waste area. Make
sure bins are stored away from heavy traffic
Scout a safe storage area areas, electrical panels, and perishable or
consumable product storage and dock doors.
Once stored properly, hazardous waste disposal should be done in accordance with
state and local regulations. Small businesses may be able to dispose of their accumulated
wastes on hazardous waste collection days, which are designated days when residents and
other small generators can bring small amounts of hazardous materials to a specified fixed
place for the city to collect and dispose of.
This is the easiest and most economical way for salons to dispose of old product. Many
cities will collect the materials for free or a nominal fee. You should consult local resources
find your hazardous waste collection day in your area that accepts waste collection day in your
area that accepts waste from small businesses.
However, salon and spa owners and managers generators (such as salon chains)
should partner with a knowledgeable, experienced third-party waste partner to ensure proper
storage and final disposal, and to mitigate any large-scale penalties from noncompliance.
Ultimately, salon and spa professionals should strive to minimize or completely remove
the generation of hazardous waste in a safe and compliant way by following regulations and
partnering with an experienced waste solution, you will ensure the safety of your customers,
employees, the environment and overall brand.
Waste disposal is also important for infection control. Different types of waste-general,
clinical and pharmaceutical-have different waste management procedures that need to be
followed.

to clean. Sprays are not effective, as they do not touch all parts of the surface to be
cleaned.

Waste Handling
Waste from household, or waste from a hotel or motel where someone with confirmed,
probable or suspected case of COVID-19 infection is living or staying, is not regulated as
medical waste.
Personal waste, such as used tissues, packaging, masks and disposable cleaning
supplies should be put securely inside disposable rubbish bags in the same room as the
person with confirmed, probable to suspected COVID-19 infection.
When dealing with waste, avoid touching the inside of the bag. Make sure the rubbish
bag is not completely full, so the contents don’t overflow and use two bags if the contents are
wet in case it leaks.
14
This waste can be put with other general rubbish (not recycling or green bins) for your
normal rubbish pick-up.
Rubbish bins inside the house should be kept clean and disinfected regularly. If a pedal
bin or plastic bucket is used. It is a good idea to use a bin liner. Bin liners stop the bin from
getting dirty, help with taking the rubbish out and also help with cleaning and sanitizing the
bin.
