The TSA Logistics Warehouse (TX-TSALC) requires the disposal of expired sanitization wipes from our warehouse facility located at 1110 Northpoint drive, Suite 400, Coppell, Texas 75019.

The expired sanitization wipes consist of:

Question 32:

The Purell SDS attached must be shipped as hazardous flammable waste and cannot be considered as Class 1 non-hazardous waste. Furthermore, the current SDS does not match the current description for Purell. If an alternative SDS for the wipes can be obtained, it would assist in finding a more cost-effective disposal solution for this waste. Please call me if you have any questions or concerns.

Government Response: Please see the Government’s response to Question #4 and #24.
