• Identification: Oil must be removed from compressors in air conditioning and refrigeration units and washing machine transmissions. Removal will be completed as per the' IWMBCDRRR Appliance Recycling Guide and other training documents. Removal Procedure: Used oil is found in refrigerant and air conditioning compressors and washing machine transmissions. All refrigerant will be evacuated from appliances prior to used oil removal. Compressors will be removed from the appliance prior to draining the used oil. This will be done by cutting the refrigerant lines and electrical wires and removing the fasteners connecting the compressor to the appliance. Once removed, a hole will be drilled in the capacitor and it will be placed on a grill over a drum, to completely drain the oil from the capacitor. Washing machine transmissions may or may not be removed from the machine prior to draining the oil. If removal is required, this will be done by cutting or unbolting the components holding the transmission in. If removed, a hole will be drilled in the transmission and it will be placed on a grill over a drum to completely drain the oil. If not removed, a hole will be drilled in the transmission, and it will be allowed to drain into a drain pan placed under the machine. The drain pan will then be emptied into the appropriate used oil drum. Packaging: 55 gallon steel drums Labeling: Labels will be affixed to the tank at the time the first oil is placed in • the drum. The label will have the generator name and address, the accumulation start date and will state "Used Oil — Hazardous Waste" Storage: Used oil drums will be stored in the designated hazardous waste location on site for up to one year, but are typically disposed of every three months. These drums are stored on a secondary containment pallet. Management and Recordkeeping: Once a month, all accumulated wastes will be sealed in their containers, weighed and logged into the waste accumulation log. The log will be checked to ensure that CESQG accumulation limits have not been exceeded. All wastes will then be transported to the San Joaquin County HHW Facility as CESQG material. A bill of lading will be utilized to transport the Universal Wastes, and be kept on file. Capacitors Identification: Capacitors and PCB Capacitors will be identified as per the �'T�BCDRRR Appliance Recycling Guide and other training documents. If there is any doubt as to the PCB content, a capacitor will be assumed to contain PCB's. Packaging: 5 gallon bucket with screw top lids or 30 gallon drums. PCB and non -PCB capacitors will be packaged in separate buckets. Capacitors with any sign of leakage will be placed in a secondary container prior to being placed in the bucket. Labeling: Labels will be affixed to the drum at the time the first a capacitor is placed in the drum. PCB Capacitors will be labeled with a standard PCB • OnSite Electronics 5 Appliance Recycling 2/19/2010
