Antifreeze Disposal:
 

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.

 E.M.C. Oil Corporation will only accept antifreeze that is commingled with other waste when the antifreeze has been shown to be non-hazardous prior to commingling.  E.M.C. will also accept hazardous waste antifreeze in drums for disposal through E.M.C.'s network of disposal facilities.
