SUMMARY:Mind the Gap: HHW Roundtable on 1lb+ Propane Tanks and 5kg+ lithium-ion batteries
DESCRIPTION:– EVENT DETAILS –\nWe’re witnessing infrastructure gaps in our household hazardous waste (HHW) systems\, particularly with items that are technically hazardous but have become ubiquitous consumer products. \n1-lb Propane Tanks: A Perfect Storm\nThese small canisters present a complex challenge—they’re pressurized vessels with explosion potential containing flammable gas\, yet marketed as “disposable” consumer products. Many HHW facilities and municipal waste operations struggle with proper handling protocols\, and finding a fully compliant processing organization has proven difficult for many regions. \n5\, 10\, 20-lb Propane Tanks\nAlso challenging. \nLarge Lithium-Ion Batteries: The 5kg+ Challenge\nThis weight threshold captures e-bike batteries\, power tool batteries\, and more. The 5kg limit reflects the critical point where specialized transportation and handling protocols become mandatory under current regulations and these batteries are not covered under the current EPR system. \nAre you experiencing specific collection logistics challenges in your area? Have you identified policy solutions or innovative approaches for these waste streams? Let’s get together to discuss and share! \nCWMA Roundtables serve as our collaborative platform to share our scenarios\, challenges\, and success stories. \nPlan to attend! \n\n– COST –\nNo Cost. This event is generously subsidized with thanks to the City of Vancouver. \n\n– AGENDA –\nVirtual Doors Open at 9:50 AM for visiting and a/v check\n\n10:00 AM — Welcome Everyone / Acknowledgments \n10:10 AM — Roundtable / We anticipate a good-sized crowd and want to ensure we hear from all who want to contribute. As we hope to take a full inventory of what is going on\, we want to ensure we give enough time. Every CWMA roundtable is expertly facilitated with attendees expected to share about 2-3 minutes (ish).\n11:25 AM — More meetings/What is next?\n11:30 AM — Farewell! \n\n– VIRTUAL NOTES –\nCWMA uses the Zoom Platform for events. The Zoom Link is sent the DAY BEFORE the event. Please reach out for accessibility accommodations or technical assistance. \n\n– ROUNDTABLE PROPOSED and SPONSORED BY –
