Sealing a container prevents any further disposals to it (unless the disposal date is before the seal date).
To record the sealing of a container:
- Open the Seal Waste panel –
- Enter the Waste Reference of the waste container in the Search located at the top of the page. This navigates the user to the Single Waste Container page for the specific waste container. Select the Perform Actions, then select Seal Container.
- Alternatively, open the menu and select the Waste tab, then select Department Waste. This opens the Department Waste screen. Select the waste container from the table which opens the information panel. Select Seal Container, located at the bottom of the panel.
- Enter the details of the sealing –
- Enter the date and time the waste was Sealed On. This will default to the current date and time.
- Select the user the waste was Sealed By. This will default to the current user.
- Optionally, enter the Actual Volume and Weight of the container.
- Select Submit. The container will then be listed as sealed, and a transaction will be created.
