• Mercury Switch and Ballast <br />Or Capacitor Removal: Wire Cutters <br />Drill and bits <br />Socket set <br />Nut driver set <br />Crescent wrench <br />Management of MRSH <br />Mercury switches <br />Identification: Mercury switches will be identified using the CINVMBCDRRR <br />Appliance <br />Recyling Guide, DTSC's Self Training Manual for Removing Mercury <br />Switches from Major Appliances and other training documents. Magnets will <br />be utilized to delineate between non -mercury and mercury flame sensors — <br />mercury sensors being magnetic. Employees receive specific classroom and <br />on -the job training in the identification and removal of mercury switches. <br />Removal Procedure: Employees will identify the potential location of mercury <br />switches based on the particular appliances as per training provided. Once the <br />location of a switch is identified, employees will use both a visual <br />examination of the switch and a magnet to determine if it is a mercury switch. <br />• If necessary, tools, (both power and manual) may be utilized to access the <br />switch. Once determined to be a mercury switch, wire cutters will be utilized <br />to remove the switch. <br />Packaging: 3 gallon buckets with screw top lids. Mercury switches are generally <br />metal encased switches which are difficult to break and are tightly packed <br />together. If a switch appears to be compromised, it is packaged in a secondary <br />container prior to placing it in the bucket. <br />Labeling: Labels will be affixed to the 3 gallon bucket at the time the first <br />mercury switch is placed in the bucket. The label will have the generator <br />name and address, the accumulation start date and will state "Universal Waste <br />Mercury Switches" <br />Storage: Mercury buckets will be stored in the designated hazardous waste <br />location which includes a secondary containment pallet. Storage will be for <br />up to one year, but mercury switches are typically shipped every 3-4 months. <br />Management and Recordkeeping: Once a month, all accumulated wastes will be <br />sealed in their containers, weighed and logged into the waste accumulation <br />log. The log will be checked to ensure that CESQG accumulation limits have <br />not been exceeded. Mercury switches are shipped through the Waste <br />Management Mercury Tracker Program, where they are sent to Mercury <br />Waste Solutions for recycling. Copies of all shipping papers are kept on file <br />as well as certificates or recycling. <br />Refrigerant and Compressor Oils <br />OnSite Electronics 4 Appliance Recycling 2/19/2010 <br />
