Oily or solvent-soaked rags can generate heat, which has been the cause of many print shop fires. Since I don’t use many rags at a time, I have a spot outside where I put my used rags so that the solvents can evaporate, and not be a threat of fire or fumes, then I put them in the trash. I have a rag bin from Justrite that I haven’t really ever used, it lives in storage now, but if I were to take on a teaching situation again it would be useful. If you have a high volume of rags you might want to investigate hiring a rag service. I worked at a high volume shop that kept their rags in a bin until the rag service picked them up weekly. The problem is that it is too easy to keep filling the can for weeks, and not empty it often enough.

Substances are included in class 6 if they can cause death or serious injury or harm to human health if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin.

Can I not just keep the rags in the bin until garbage day? Or does it really need to be emptied at the end of each day? Thanks!

These substances may explosively decompose, burn rapidly, be sensitive to impact or friction, react dangerously with other substances, or cause damage to the eyes.

The purpose of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act and Regulations is to promote public safety when dangerous goods are being handled, offered for transport or transported by road, rail, air, or water (marine). TDG also establishes safety requirements.

The following table shows common safety marks for each class. To view all the required safety marks, please see the “Marks of Safety” from Transport Canada.

Rags stored for a long time can combust even in a safety can, given the right conditions. It is not a good idea to store solvent-soaked rags for an extended time.

What if I kept the rags in a bin filled with water until pick up? I don’t have a spot I can dry them out (winter is coming!).

I feel weird about all those dirty inky solvent soaked rags going in the trash - shouldn’t they be disposed of through a hazardous waste facility like any other old paint or oil, ect?

Assigning a substance into a hazard class is usually done by the consignor. The person deciding the classification must be competent, meaning they have the education, training, and experience required for the task. Some substances have been assigned classes in the TDG Regulations.

Substances are considered Class 9 when they are listed in column 3 of Schedule 1 in the TDG Regulation, or by other inclusions and exclusions as defined in the regulations.

Our drum containment pallets base their sump volume on storing 55-gallon drums, Canada's most commonly used industrial drums.

Dangerous goods are classified into 9 classes, based on the substance’s characteristics and properties. These criteria are outlined in the TDG Regulations.

When the solvents have evaporated out of the rags they are no more toxic than any newspaper. Putting the rags in a sack outside is still confining them, especially if they are heated by the sun. Soaked rags need air to circulate around them to dry quickly. In that way they would be the least likely to spontaneously combust.

The bin instructions say to empty the bin every night. But, I’ve had several people tell me not to put my oily rags in the trash until pick up day (the whole spontaneous combustion thing!).. So, if I empty the Justrite bin at the end of every night, where do I put them until garbage day?

These substances may cause fire (through friction), become explosive when in contact with water, become explosive even with contact with oxygen (air), or undergo a reaction that will result in a stronger exothermic reaction (a reaction that releases heat). For example, Class 4.2 Substances liable to spontaneous combustion includes substances that will ignite within 5 minutes of coming in to contact with air.

Aerosols under UN 1950, AEROSOLS may be transported as flammable or non-flammable or non-toxic gases, depending on the properties of the aerosol.
