How does the facility manage stripped paint chips and baghouse dusts?
All materials collected from shot and grit blasting and sanding/grinding operations may be classified as hazardous waste, depending on the previous paint coatings. If the previous paints contained lead or chromium, the waste chips and dusts may be hazardous waste, depending on Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test results. Recycle–Facility recycles materials on-site or ships them to a recycling facility. √ Landfill–Based on waste characterization, facility disposes materials at a municipal or hazardous waste landfill.
