o have the refrigerant evacuated, per EPA regulatory requirements for Freon reclamation, prior to being segregated into the recyclable metal pile. Refrigerant containing white goods that are dirty will be cleaned prior to the evacuation process (see Putrefied Foods discussion). These metals will then be compacted into bales and transported to the nearest recycling facility as long as recyclable market remains positive (see Recycling Plan discussion). Electronic Waste - Electronic Waste debris, or E-Waste, will be collected, sorted and separated for final disposition. E- Waste presents an environmental and health and safety concern owing largely to the toxicity of substances from the constituent parts if not processed properly. Crews and QC Site Managers will be provided with a list of E-Waste materials for reference during recovery operations. CRTs, monitors, circuit boards, computer components & peripherals and batteries are examples of debris that can be classified as E- Waste. Please refer to our reduction & recycling discussion below for E-Waste recycling options. The following guidelines will be utilized in managing the materials and preparing for transport to a recycling facility. . Provide Gaylord or similar type boxes, pallets and stretch wrap, labor to presort, pack and load materials. · Pack electronics into Gaylords (which can be double stacked). · Load in to transport Trailers - Two rows in length double stacked in height. . TVs over 25" Diagonally - Stack and securely wrapped (with Stretch wrap) on pallet no higher than 4 ft - (this will allow to be stacked on top of Gaylord Box). . Big Screens (2 per pallet): Place on Pallets back to back and securely wrapped (with Stretch wrap)-No more than 6 pallets per trailer (to maximize trailer weight). Putrefied Foods - This debris stream is most likely to be encountered as part of the dirty refrigerant containing white goods. General methods of collection and transportation are addressed above.

These products may contain both Hazardous Materials (oil and gas) as well as recyclable metal. AshBritt's process for this debris parallels the white good process outline above. Please refer to our Recycling Plan discussion below for recycling alternatives. AshBritt will prepare a task specific site plan for the handling of this debris. NEPA Compliance - The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) establishes national environmental policy and goals for the protection, maintenance, and enhancement of the environment.
