City of Cotati Bulk Sanitizer Disposal, Recycling and Ethanol Recover Services
We are the Cotati, California leader in the cost effective collection, disposal and recycling of commercial or industrial amounts of hand sanitizer at the SQG, LQG, or CESQG levels.
Leading Cotati Disposal Company for Bulk, Out-of-date Alcohol Based Sanitizer Gels and Liquids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 Sonoma 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 Cotati hazardous waste disposal office right away to schedule proper transportation and disposal. Our Cotati hazardous waste team can be reached 24/7 at our toll-free number at (855) 242-9628.
