• Projects:
1. Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) Chemical Room Audit
2. Waste Control Project
Hazardous Waste Identification
1. Is the material a solid waste? • (40 CFR 261.2)
2. Is the waste specifically excluded form RCRA? • (40 CFR 261.4)
3. Is the waste a listed hazardous waste? • (40 CFR 261.30)• F-list, K-list, P-list, & U-list
4. Does the waste exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste? (40 CFR 261.20)
• Ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, toxicity

Nickel CadmiumNickel Metal Hydride
• Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cad) and lead-acid batteries– Universal (Hazardous) waste
• 40 CFR 273
• Nickel metal hydride (NimH) batteries are NOT hazardous
• Disposal Method: Safety-Kleen recycles them
• Possible replacement battery chemistry– Lithium ion
Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)
• FREE battery recycling program
• Offer pre-paid and pre-labeled containers
• Cell phones ARE accepted
• No alkaline batteries
Implemented
Absorbents
• Used to clean up liquid spills– Pig-Mats--------------------------------------------149 Rolls– Pig-Socks/Other absorbing socks------------2000 Each– Corn Cob-------------------------------------------135 Gal.
• Proper Disposal Method:– If used to soak up non-hazardous/non-regulated liquids
• Thrown away in the trash
– Soak up regulated liquid (glycol, used oil, etc.)• Safety-Kleen

• Current Disposal Method1. Punctured, then the liquid is drained into a 55 gallon drum2. Sent to the landfill
• Alternate Disposal Method1. Punctured, liquid drained2. Cans are recycled as scrap metal with Charles Heath, Jr.~1,600 lbs./160 cuf. diverted from the landfill (annually)

In Progress
Mapp Gas & Leftover Paint
• Mapp Gas (1 lb. containers)– Disposal Methods
• Remaining gas is released to air• Empty containers are sent to the landfill
– Larger containers are not feasible
• Paints, Enamels, etc.– Disposal Methods
• Remnants are solidified– Becomes a RCRA solid waste (not regulated)
• Sent to the landfill
In Compliance

Recycling Parts Washer
• Advantages – Clean Solvent on demand– Longer service terms– Eliminates hazardous
waste manifests– Helps reduce generator
status
• Disadvantages– More expensive
• Transportation Shop Quote- $172 more
– Disrupts current process– Gives off an odor during
recycling mode
Not Recommended
Continuous Use Program
• Advantages– Used solvent leaves as a hazardous product, NOT a
hazardous waste– Annualized cost is not increased– Changes only occur in paperwork
• Minimal change in current procedure
• Disadvantages– Amount of total solvent used remains the same

Styrofoam Recycling Machine
• TGL Chem. Machine– Loaded into top– Shredded– Sprayed with chemical
solution that releases the air– Gel is collected in a trash bag
• NEPCO– Front Loaded– Shredded– Forms a small cube– Minimum-250 lb/hr
In Progress
Waste Crust & Dough
• Roughly 2 million pounds thrown away each year• Current disposal method:
– Pig Farmer (Belcher Farms)– Landfill– $145,400 to dispose of waste crust– $15,000 for waste dough
Crusts for Bio-Fuel• Utilize waste crust and dough as an ethanol
feedstock• Advantages
– 80,000 gallons of ethanol by utilizing current waste stream
– Equivalent $120,000 of feedstock (corn @ $4.00/bushel)
• Challenges– Finding a company willing to partner with us– Processing the waste
• Drying• Size reduction• Mixing with ethanol company’s current feedstock• Transportation In Progress
Crust & Dough for Animal Food
• Garry Waldren has been working on this project– Found a customer that will partner with us
• Advantages– Schwans would dispose of its waste for FREE
• Challenges– Size reduction– Moisture control
In Progress
Finishing the Internship
• Finalize decision/process for waste crusts• Written Project Report
– For Kansas State, Pollution Prevention Institute• Third-shift stacking• Rack Design
– Bread Racks– Silver Racks
Acknowledgements

Looking Back…
• Lessons Learned– Communication
• How to ask questions
– Taking the initiative– Sense of the business world
• How industry functions in comparison to a classroom
– Planning– Problem Solving
• Obstacles– Finding information
