North Richland Hills, Texas Bulk Sanitizer Disposal, Recycling and Ethanol Recover Services

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

Large quantities of hand sanitizers cannot be stored in North Richland Hills office buildings, per OSHA regulations and any quantities greater than 25 gallons must be properly stored in flammable-liquid storage containers.

Hand Sanitizers Containing Methanol or 1-Propanol

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has sent notices to many companies and manufacturering companies for making and selling hand sanitizers that have the following ingredientsmethanol or 1-propanol, both of which are toxic to human health and neither one are approved for hand-washing by the EPA:

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

The recalled sanitizers listed here were falsely labeled as containing only ethyl alcohol. If your company purchased large volumes of any recalled sanitizer shown please get in touch with our North Richland Hills hazardous waste disposal office right away to schedule proper transportation and disposal.
