Tote Return Program
Kodak鈥檚 Graphic Communications Group Tote Return Program offers a simple and convenient way to
reuse chemical totes used in graphic arts processes. Customer participation in this program is vital to the
program's success. Totes must be returned in order for Kodak to continue to offer chemicals in bulk size.
By participating in this program you will also help minimize solid waste.
Preparing to Return Empty Totes
The following guidelines are designed to assist you in preparing to return empty Kodak totes in
compliance with the shipping requirements set forth by the United States Department of Transportation
(D.O.T.). Because states and localities may have different requirements, check your local regulations.
1. You must comply with all city, state, and federal regulations.
2. The totes must have contained fresh Kodak chemicals only. You may return the following Kodak
empty plastic totes:
鈥? 220 gallons (445 lbs.) (limited availability)
鈥? 1,000 liters (139 lbs.)
The totes must be empty, with the outside free of chemicals. You do not have to rinse the totes with
water鈥攋ust be sure they鈥檙e empty. If the totes are not empty, you will be billed for any charges associated
with disposing of the totes.
According to EPA 40 CFR 261.7, "A container...is empty if:
(i) All wastes have been removed that can be removed using the practices commonly employed to
remove materials for that type of container, e.g., pouring, pumping, and aspirating, and
(ii) No more than 2.5 centimeters (one inch) of residue remain on the bottom of the container...or
(iii) (B) No more than 0.3 percent by weight of the total capacity of the container remains in the
container...if the container is greater than 110 gallons in size."
3. Be sure all closures are in place and that any plugs are reinserted and tightened. Be sure that the
original product labels are in place and not defaced in any manner. Never remove labels or paint over
them.
4. No additional packaging is required; do not ship the totes on pallets.
5. Follow the instructions for arranging return transportation and preparing the Bill of Lading.
