Dealing With Your Hazardous Waste

http://www.abrn.com/abrn/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=58060

Hazardous wastes in an auto collision repair shop go far beyond waste paints and solvents: Rags used for solvent wiping, sponges and mops used for cleaning and spray booth filters are also part of their overall waste stream. Anything that doesn�t go up the stack or down the drain that exhibits characteristics of flammability, corrosivity, toxicity or reactivity is a hazardous waste.
