What should you do if you encounter an overloaded waste bin?

• B. Notify maintenance
• C. Ignore it
• D. Contact AOCC at 613 248 2200

Answer: (D)

When you see an overloaded waste bin, it’s a safety and operations issue that needs to be handled by the proper channel. The right action is to contact AOCC at 613-248-2200 so the center can coordinate prompt and safe disposal. This central contact ensures the bin is emptied correctly, the area is kept clear, and the incident is logged for follow-up. Trying to empty it yourself could expose you to waste or spills and isn’t the prescribed procedure, while ignoring it creates a continuing hazard. Notifying AOCC gets the appropriate team on the job quickly, maintaining safety and efficiency.
