Leading Belmont Disposal Company for Bulk, Out-of-date Alcohol Based Sanitizer Gels and Liquids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.

Hand sanitizers cannot be stored in San Mateo County office buildings, per OSHA regulations and any amounts of more 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 several companies and manufacturers companies for making and selling hand sanitizers that contain methanol or 1-propanol, both of which are toxic to human health and neither were approved for hand washing by the EPA:

  • Ethanol found in spirits for drinking, methanol mostly used to make 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 flammable, harmful 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 labeled as containing only ethyl alcohol. If your company purchased large volumes of any recalled sanitizer listed please call our Belmont hazardous waste disposal office right away to schedule proper transportation and disposal.  Our Belmont hazardous waste team can be reached 24/7 at our toll-free number at (855) 242-9628.

Belmont is a city in San Mateo County in the U.S. state of California. It is in the San Francisco Bay Area, on the San Francisco Peninsula about halfway between San Francisco and San Jose. It was originally part of Rancho de las Pulgas, for which one of its main roads, the Alameda de las Pulgas, is named. The city was incorporated in 1926. Its population was 25,835 at the 2010 census.

Ralston Hall is a historic landmark built by Bank of California founder William Chapman Ralston on the campus of Notre Dame de Namur University, and is also home to Notre Dame High School. It was built around a villa formerly owned by Count Leonetto Cipriani [fr], an Italian aristocrat. The locally famous “Waterdog Lake” is also located in the foothills and highlands of Belmont.

A surviving structure from the Panama-Pacific International Exposition is on Belmont Avenue (another is the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco). The building was brought to Belmont by E.D. Swift shortly after the exposition closed in 1915.

Belmont has a smoking ordinance passed in January 2009 which bans smoking in all businesses and multi-story apartments and condominiums; the ordinance has been described as one of the strictest in the nation.
