According to revised DAO 04-36, which items shall be included on appropriate waste labels?

• A. Volume of waste
• B. Generator ID number
• C. Container material
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Labeling waste correctly ensures you have essential information for safe handling, proper disposal, and regulatory traceability. The revised regulation requires including the volume of waste, the generator’s ID number, and the container material on appropriate waste labels. The volume tells you how much waste is in the container, which affects storage limits and the disposal method. The generator ID number identifies the source, enabling tracking and accountability throughout handling, transport, and final disposal. The container material shows what the container is made of and its compatibility with the waste, helping prevent reactions, degradation, or leaks and ensuring the label remains legible and durable. Together, these details support safe management, compliant transport, and proper disposal of the waste.
