Lauderdale Lakes, Florida Bulk Sanitizer Disposal, Recycling and Ethanol Recover Services

Leading Lauderdale Lakes Transporter for Bulk, Out-of-date Alcohol Based Sanitizer Gels and Liquids

Most of the hand-sanitizing liquids in use today are gels that are 60-95% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol–classifying them as Class 3 Flammable Liquids.

Bulk hand sanitizers cannot be stored in Lauderdale Lakes office buildings, per OSHA regulations and any amounts greater than 25 gallons must be properly stored in flammable-liquid storage cabinets.

Hand Sanitizers Containing Methanol or 1-Propanol

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cited quite a few companies and manufacturering companies for producing and selling hand sanitizers that containmethanol or 1-propanol, both of which are toxic to human health and neither were approved for hand-washing by the EPA:

• Ethanol contained in spirits used for drinking, methanol commonly used to make fuels, solvents and antifreeze. Referred to as “wood alcohol” or “methyl alcohol”, methanol is colorless, highly ignitable and very poisonous if consumed.
• Used in industry, some cosmetics and antiseptics, 1-Propanol is used as a multi-purpose solvent. It’s highly flammable, dangerous if congested and can damage your eyes. Respiratory irritation and central nervous system issues can result from inhalation.

The recalled sanitizers listed here were falsely marked as containing only ethyl alcohol. If your company purchased large volumes of any recalled sanitizer shown please call our Lauderdale Lakes hazardous waste disposal office right away to schedule proper transportation and disposal.
