  1. Collision Repair Hazardous Waste Environmental Compliance Paid for, in part, by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment

  2. Collision Repair Hazardous Waste Management – what you need to know • What types of waste are generated at a shop? • What is a hazardous waste determination? • Does Kansas have state-specific requirements? • How do I store and management my waste? • What are my recycling and disposal options? • How can I minimize waste and save money? 2

  3. Hazardous Waste Regulations You are responsible!! • Each facility or collision repair shop must make a determination for each waste stream to determine if it is a hazardous waste or not. • Perform a written evaluation of each waste. 3

  4. Pause for a moment and think of any waste that is generated at a shop. What are some that you can think of? Paid for, in part, by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment

  5. Waste at a Collision Repair Shop…. • Spent solvents • Waste or excess paints • Paint filters • Paint-related disposable items • Solvent-contaminated rags • Auto fluids • Used oil • Antifreeze • Refrigerant 5

  6. Waste (Spent) Solvents and Paints • Hazardous due to • Ignitability (flash point <140F) • Sometimes toxicity (heavy metals) • Collect in approved container • Label “Hazardous Waste” • Keep it closed • Depending on where the was is stored, it may need to be dated too • Disposal via licensed hazardous waste hauler 6

  7. Spent Filters, Disposable Items, and Rags • Are they hazardous? • MSDS/knowledge of process • Have tested by a certified lab • If filters are hazardous, then cups, paper items are too • Often hazardous and need to be disposed of as such • Look at less hazardous alternatives 7

  8. Auto Fluids – Waste? • Used oil • Return to auto if possible • Collect, label, and recycle by licensed hauler • Antifreeze • Return to the auto • Collect for recycling or disposal as hazardous • Refrigerants • Several restrictions 8

  9. Making a Waste Determination • All businesses must make a “determination” for each waste stream and document whether the waste is a hazardous waste or not. • How do I make a determination? • MSDS/knowledge of process and/or • Test the waste using a certified laboratory Technical guidance document: www.kdheks.gov/waste/techguide/hw-2011-G1.pdf 9

  11. Hazardous Waste Generator Categories • Figured on total monthly generation of all hazardous waste sources combined • Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator • Kansas Small Quantity Generator • Small Quantity Generator • Large Quantity Generator 11

  12. Hazardous Waste Regulations • Main requirements • Label – “Hazardous Waste” • Containers, storage, and inspections • Keep it closed • Use a licensed hauler for disposal Technical guidance document: www.kdheks.gov/waste/techguide/HW-2005-G1.pdf 12

  13. Hazardous Waste Regulations • Train your people, it is required! • Within 6 months of taking position and then annually • www.sbeap.org • Keep paperwork for 3 years minimum • Proof of training • Determination documents • Manifests and land disposal restriction (LDR) 13

  14. Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 Shifted the focus from “end-of-pipe” pollution treatment and cleanup, to policies, technologies, and processes which prevent and minimize the generation of pollution” 14

  15. Why Pollution Prevention? • Waste prevention: • Waste reduction • Source of process substitution • Recycling • Final treatment and disposal • Equals benefits: • Financial (front and back end) • Environmental • Worker health and safety • Public image 15

  16. Pollution Prevention OpportunitiesChange the process • Basic housekeeping • Prevention, detection, and cleanup of leaks and spills • Up to 40% of solvent lost here • Store material on pallets or in separate containment area • Use dry cleanup methods • Inventory control • Purchase only what you need 16

  17. Pollution Prevention OpportunitiesChange the material • Consider less hazardous alternatives • Water-based paints • Paints without heavy metals 17

  18. Pollution Prevention OpportunitiesChange the technology • Spray gun equipment • HVLP uses 40-50% less product • Easy cleaning • Solvent recycling or distillation • Greatly reduces raw material purchases • Shops have reduced waste by as much as 80%(source: www.dtsc.ca.gov/PollutionPrevention/ABP/upload/TD_FS_SolventRecycling.pdf) • Decreased air and waste emissions 18

  19. Where to Go for Help • Free, non-regulatory, confidential • KSU PPI, SBEAP (see brochure) • 1-800-578-8898 or www.sbeap.org 19
