Frequently Asked Questions
Why do oily waste cans have self-closing lids?
Self-closing lids are a fire safety requirement. Oil-soaked rags can spontaneously combust β the self-closing lid limits oxygen inside the can, preventing fires. FM (Factory Mutual) and UL-approved waste cans meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 requirements.
What color safety can do I need?
OSHA and NFPA color standards: Red = flammable liquids (gasoline, solvents). Yellow = diesel fuel. Blue = kerosene. Green = oil/combustibles. Using the correct color prevents dangerous mix-ups.

Disposing of Hazardous, BioHazard and Oily Waste Safely
When working around shops, garages and labs you are going to use chemicals that are flammable, oily, hazardous and even contagious or non-contagious bio hazards. Wiping up spills or disposing of the rags and by-products of used supplies needs to be handled properly.
You can't just through these toxins and poisons in the trash. In fact, oily rags thrown in the trash are subject to possible spontaneous combustion.
If the article is a biohazard, you could potentially expose other humans and even animals to the pathogen, bacteria or toxin. Not to mention State, Local and Federal laws that you may be in violation of. Stiff fines, shutdowns and even jail time are all possible.
In order to safely dispose of these hazardous articles of trash you will need hazardous waste containers that are designed for the task.
Our selection of Hazardous Waste Containers is designed to contain these hazards safely. Constructed of brightly colored Polyethylene with self-closing lids, these waste containers will not rot or dent and are resistant to most chemicals. Our red and yellow cans feature a foot lever to open the lid and come in several sizes. For a detailed view of the great features of these waste containers, click here.
