How should soiled ink/furniture towels be stored?

Soiled ink or furniture towels should be stored in a closed drum with a locking ring to ensure proper containment and minimize safety hazards. Using a closed drum helps prevent the release of any potentially hazardous fumes or spills that could occur with open or inadequately sealed storage options. The locking ring provides an extra layer of security, ensuring the contents remain contained and reducing the risk of accidental exposure or handling.

Additionally, storing the towels in this manner allows for safer transportation and disposal procedures, as many jurisdictions require that such materials be managed as hazardous waste due to their potential to ignite or release toxic substances. This storage method is aligned with best practices for safety compliance, protecting both workers and the environment from risks associated with improper handling of soiled materials.
