Antifreeze
is exempt from hazardous waste regulations if it is
recycled. Antifreeze often becomes contaminated with
traces of fuel, metal particles and grit. If
antifreeze, antifreeze still bottoms, antifreeze filters or
antifreeze solids are not recycled, a waste determination
must be conducted, or the antifreeze can be handled as a
hazardous waste to avoid testing costs. Used
antifreeze must be tested at a minimum for lead, benzene,
tetrachlorethylene and trichloroethylene using the Toxicity
Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). If
determined hazardous, used antifreeze must be managed as a
hazardous waste. Reusable or recycled antifreeze can
be used in facility vehicles, sold or given away. We
are working with the State of Florida certified laboratory
and we have specific testing for our customers.
