Re: P2 for feed and grain handlers

[rpojasek@sprynet.com]

Pat,

Feed and grain handlers are often large quantity generators of hazardous waste 
due to the amount of pesticides that they use to prevent rodents from getting 
into the feed.  Waste minimization efforts have typically focused on the number 
of times the little boxes (that the mice go into to have their last supper) are 
changed.  I understand that some of the practices are standardized by the 
American Baking Institute (I have a copy of their certification standards for 
food handlers).  There may be a need to seek changes in these specifications.  I 
would suspect that MNTAP would have information on waste minimization in this 
application.  I remember the issue when I wrote the first statewide hazardous 
waste management plan for Minnesota in 1981.
