Where should used tanks be stored during the waiting period before disposal?

Used tanks should be stored in a secure area on the premises to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. This storage method minimizes the risk of unauthorized access, which could lead to potential environmental hazards or safety incidents. By maintaining a secure area, the operators can better monitor the condition of the tanks and prevent leaks or spills from occurring due to tampering or adverse weather conditions.

Securing the tanks on the premises allows for proper management and oversight during the waiting period before disposal, ensuring that all safety protocols are followed. This practice is essential not only for compliance with environmental laws but also for protecting public health and safety in the surrounding community.
