Hazardous Waste Minimization: Part IX Waste Minimization in the Automotive Repair Industry

Wesley M. Toy

Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

Waste minimization in the automotive repair industry is characterized by the large numbers of small quantity generators (SQG) producing solvent, alkaline and detergent hazardous wastes. On-site management of multiple processes which vary depending on the size of shop make the administration of hazardous waste policies particularly complex. This paper presents the quantities and types of hazardous materials typically produced. Guidelines are presented to allow generators to organize a waste minimization program.
