Fluorescent lamps <br />a <br />• The appliance is marked as "evacuated", and then placed for used oil <br />removal. <br />Packaging: Compressed Cylinders <br />Labeling: All cylinders will be labeled "Used Refrigerant", and will identify <br />the type of refrigerant (R-22, etc.) <br />Storage: Refrigerant containers be stored in the designated hazardous waste <br />location on site for up to six months, but are typically recycled within 4 <br />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. Onsite utilizes Rapid Recovery to evacuate and recycle <br />our tanks of refrigerant. Rapid Recovery comes to our facility to perform the <br />evacuation. <br />Identification: fluorescent lamps are often found in the backlighting of stoves. <br />All stoves which contain a backlight device will be checked to see if the <br />fluorescent light is still in the stove. <br />Removal Procedure: Employees will identify the location of the bulb and remove <br />it by twisting it to remove it from its socket. Care will be taken to prevent <br />breakage of the bulb. <br />Packaging: Boxes designed for fluorescent bulb packaging and disposal. All <br />bulbs will be carefully packaged to prevent breakage. Broken bulbs will be <br />placed in 5 gallon buckets. <br />Labeling: Labels will be affixed to the box at the time the first lamp is placed in <br />it. The label will have the generator name and address, the accumulation start <br />date and will state "Universal Waste Lamps" <br />Storage: Fluorescent lamps 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 fluorescent lamps 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. All wastes will then be transported to the San Joaquin <br />County HHW Facility as CESQG material. From there, the lamps are sent to <br />AERC for recycling. Copies of all shipping papers are kept on file as well as <br />certificates or recycling. <br />OnSite Electronics 7 Appliance Recycling 2/19/2010 <br />
