Case
Study: Managing A Plant Closing from A to Z
When L.G. Philips Display
USA decided to close its Ohio television component manufacturing facility,
the company was faced with segregating, characterizing, packaging, shipping
and disposing of hazardous waste materials.
The company utilized Ross
Environmental Services to manage all of its waste disposal needs at
the facility, for containers that are less than one cubic yard in size.
2,300
Containers
Since there were more than
2,300 containers at the site, ranging in size from small eight ounce
bottles up to one cubic yard boxes, this was a formidable task. Ross
Environmental had one staff person at the site on a full-time basis
working on the waste management issues. Materials that were safely managed
include oils, greases, solvents, detergents, corrosive liquids and peroxides.
The RES site manager characterized,
labelled and shipped the materials. He also maintained a computerized
database to track every item and record its status from packaging to
disposal.
Treatment
& Disposal
RES’ sales
support staff then completed the waste characterization process and
shipped the materials off-site for appropriate treatment or disposal
by landfill, recycling, incineration or another treatment method.
In addition,
RES had a temporary person at the site to research and organize the
Material Safety Data Sheets for all of the materials in compliance with
applicable OSHA requirements.
