Filters: Oil filters are drained of all free flowing oil(typically for 24 hours). Diesel fuel filters are also drained of free flowing fuel (typically for 24 hours). Drained filters are crushed by the filter crusher machine. Crushed filters are placed in 55-gallon drums, which are labeled "DRAINED USED OIL/DIESEL FILTERS". The initial date of accumulation will be marked on each drum, followed by the generator's name and address. The drums are typically stored in the shop or in a covered area along the shop's outer wall. Up to one ton of used filters may be accumulated on site for no more than one year prior to recycling. Storage of one ton or more of used filters is limited to 180 days. One ton of crushed filters fills approximately six drums. Used filters are collected for recycling by a qualified recycling contractor(as noted in Section 5). Antifreeze/Coolant: Waste radiator fluid(ethylene glycol) is placed in 55-gallon drums or a tote. The drums, or tote, will be labeled "WASTE ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT", "HAZARDOUS WASTE". The initial date of accumulation will be marked on each drum, followed by the generator's name and address. Also include'Toxic Liquid". The drums are stored in the shop ori a covered area along the shop's outer wall. Waste radiator fluid is stored on site for less than 90 days prior to removal off site by a qualified recycling contractor(as noted in Section 5). Batteries: Stored, spent or used lead-acid batteries are protected so that short circuits are prevented and battery acid does not leak. Spent batteries are stored in one designated location for no longer than one year if less than one ton total, or 180 days if more than one ton. The batteries are stored on metal shelves that have an upward edge to contain liquids, should there be a leak. The metal shelves are located in the Battery Room Spent batteries are collected and transported from the facility by a qualified recycling contractor(as noted in Section 5). Intact spent batteries, and properly contained damaged batteries, are marked with either the date the battery was taken out of service or the date it was received for transport/storage. The date shall be written in a weather-resistant material, such as ink or paint, and be legible and conspicuous. Spent batteries are stored in one designated location for no longer than one year if less than one ton total, or 180 days if more than one ton. Empty Containers: The moment a container is emptied, the date shall be marked on the container with weather proof ink. Containers previously used to store hazardous materials shall be properly recycled or disposed of within one year of being emptied. Containers five(5) gallon capacity or smaller may be crushed and disposed of as solid waste. Containers larger than five(5)gallons capacity will be recycled or reconditioned.
