L <br />0 APPENDIX I <br />Appliance Processing & Freon Removal . <br />Lovelace Materials Recovery Facility & Transfer Station <br />Part 1: Services Provided by Onsite Electronics Recyclin>; <br />Onsite Electronics Recycling provides appliance recycling services to the County at the <br />Lovelace Materials Recovery Facility & Transfer Station (LMRF&TS). <br />Certified Appliance Recycling <br />The Department of Toxic Substances Control requires that anyone who removes <br />materials that require special handling from major appliances be a Certified Appliance <br />Recycler (CAR). A CAR is certified by DTSC to remove and properly manage materials <br />that require special handling from discarded major appliances. <br />Onsite Electronics Recycling (CAR# 0294) is responsible for the removal of all materials <br />requiring special handling from major appliances processed at the LMRF&TS. This <br />includes both Freon (such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and water coolers) <br />and non -Freon containing appliances (such as washers, dryers, ovens, stoves, furnaces, <br />space heaters, water heaters and trash compactors). Materials requiring special handling <br />include Freon, mercury probes and switches, used oil from compressors and <br />transmissions, metal encased capacitors and encased PCBs or DEHP. <br />Appliance Recycling Operations <br />Onsite conducts appliance recycling at LMRF&TS each Monday and Thursday. These <br />days ensure that the appliance area is cleaned up after the weekend (Monday) and again <br />prior to the next weekend (Thursday). However, at any time that there is an unusual <br />fluctuation in volume, Onsite will supplement staffing as needed in order to ensure the <br />appliance build up does not exceed storage capacity. <br />Onsite provides the following equipment for use in managing appliances: <br />Freon Removal: <br />Refrigerant Vacuum Pump, hose and connectors <br />Refrigerant Manifold <br />Generator <br />Piercing Valves <br />Recovery Cylinders <br />Oil Removal: <br />Sawzall <br />Socket Set <br />Wire Cutters <br />Drill and Bits <br />Hammer <br />Chisel and/or punch <br />Mercury Switch and Ballast <br />or Capacitor Removal: <br />Wire Cutters <br />Drill and bits <br />Page I of 7 <br />
