Safe Handling, Storage, and Destruction of Nitrate-Based Motion Picture Films
 
 H-182 (ENG)
  6
The transportation of cellulose nitrate 
films is regulated by both the US DOT 
and the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency (USEPA). Cellulose 
nitrate-based films are considered 
hazardous materials under USDOT and 
hazardous wastes by USEPA. 
You are required to include the 
Shipping Name, ID Number, Hazard 
Class, and Hazard Label on the shipping 
papers that accompany the films for 
destruction:
HAZARDOUS WASTE

*   Include EPA Waste Code D011 only for 
shipping those films that are in one of the last 
three stages of decomposition.

Hazard Label
Flammable solid
Package waste nitrocellulose-based 
films with not less than 25-percent water 
and label as a flammable solid:
Waste nitrocellulose-based films 
must be transported by a carrier that is 
authorized by USDOT and USEPA to 
transport hazardous waste. A hazardous 
waste manifest and a Land Disposal 
Restriction Form must accompany the 
material during transport.
Once your cellulose nitrate film is 
determined to be a hazardous waste, you 
need to ship it to a treatment facility as 
soon as possible, following the 
transportation requirements outlined 
above. 
The appropriate treatment technology 
for cellulose nitrate film is incineration
The incinerating facility is required to 
have an RCRA permit to treat all EPA 
Hazardous Waste Numbers associated 
with your waste. This includes D001, 
D003, and possibly D011, depending on 
the decomposition stage of the film.
