...ing grease. Waste Reduction Minimize the number of solvents used to make recycling easier and to reduce hazardous waste management costs. Do all liquid cleaning at a centralized station to ensure that solvents and residues stay in one area. Locate drip pans and draining boards to direct solvents back into solvent sink or holding tank for reuse. See information below for used automotive fluid recycling.  Use Safer Alternatives Use non-hazardous cleaners when possible. Purchase recycled products such as engine oil, transmission fluid, antifreeze, and hydraulic fluid. Spill Clean Up Use as little water as possible to clean spills leaks, and drips. Use rags to clean small spills, dry absorbent material for larger spills, and a mop for general cleanup. Mop water can be disposed of via the sink or toilet to the sanitary sewer. Have absorbent pads and booms on hand for spill response. Good Housekeeping Employee training and public outreach are necessary to reinforce proper disposal practices. Monitor parked vehicles for leaks, and place pans under leaks to collect the fluids for proper disposal or recycling. Promptly transfer used fluids to recycling drums or hazardous waste containers. Do not pour liquid waste down floor drains, sinks, or outdoor storm drain inlets. Obtain and use drain mats to cover drains in the event of a spill. Store cracked batteries in leak proof secondary containers. Keep dumpster areas clean and free of hazardous wastes. Parts Cleaning Use detergent-based or water-based cleaning systems instead of organic solvent degreasers. Drain oil filters and other parts before recycling.
