C11 t 1J1 a/als a - <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: Refrigerant Vacuum Pump, hose and connectors <br /> Refrigerant Manifold <br /> Generator <br /> Piercing Valves <br /> Recovery Cylinders <br /> Oil Removal: 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: Wire Cutters <br /> Drill and bits <br /> Page 1 of 7 <br />
