BATTERY STORAGE (NEW OR USED <br />All new automotive batteries, when stored at the service stations, will be stored on a open rack to easily detect a leak. <br />All used and/or damaged batteries will be stored with a plastic (polyethylene), watertight pan underneath. The pan or pans must <br />have a 1" lip on all four sides of the pan to contain any battery acid that may leak from the batteries stored. Used batteries will <br />be returned to the battery supplier, who will recycle them with a battery reclaimer. <br />If a battery is dropped, treat it as if were cracked until it is determined that it is not leaking. <br />DISPOSAL PROCEDURE FOR ANTI -FREEZE <br />Used anti -freeze should be put in a 55 gallon drum or similar container and the container labeled "Waste Anti -freeze / Hazardous <br />Material". The container must be placed on a metal or plastic pan with a 2" to 3" lip all the way around the pan to contain any <br />spills or leaks from the container. When the container is full, call an "Anti -freeze Recycling Contractor" to remove the container <br />of used anti -freeze. Do not, under any circumstances, pour used or new anti -freeze or a mixture thereof on the floor or on the <br />ground and hose it down to floor drains or storm drains. Do not pour anti -freeze into your waste oil tank. <br />DISPOSAL PROCEDURE FOR USED OIL FILTERS <br />The dealer will put Used oil filters in a 55 gallon drum or similar container and the container labeled "Waste Oil Filters / <br />Hazardous Material". The container will be placed on a metal or plastic pan with a 2" to 3" lip all the way around the pan to <br />contain any spills or leaks from the container. When the container is full, the dealer will call a "Waste Oil Recycling Contractor" <br />to remove the container of used oil filters. <br />The dealer will drain all used oil filters of free-flowing oil prior to placement into the above noted container. Free flowing oil <br />is defined as a continuous stream of oil exiting the filter when the filter is inverted. Oil exiting drop by drop is not considered <br />free flowing. If oil exiting the filter is restricted in any way, the filter shall be manipulated to allow used oil to exit the filter <br />freely. <br />Used oil filters will not be placed in a refuse disposal container. <br />4 <br />
