6.6.3 Fire Extinguishers
In the case of both charged and discharged fire extinguishers, the
manufacturer of the fire extinguisher will be contacted for the proper
discharge and disposal method. Alternately, local fire department(s) may
be contacted to determine if they would like to acquire the charged fire
extinguishers for use in volunteer or community training exercises. If the
above approaches prove impractical, fire extinguishers shall be
depressurized in accordance with manufacture's recommendations and all
regulatory requirements. Contained media shall be collected upon
depressurization, characterized, and recycled or disposed as required.
Empty extinguisher bodies shall be rendered inoperable by cutting in half
or puncturing, then recycling as scrap metal or disposing as municipal
solid waste.
6.6.4 Refrigerant-containing Equipment
Non-hazardous construction and demolition materials may contain
regulated refrigerant including, but not limited to, possible refrigerant in
the air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The refrigerant will be
removed prior to disposal. Refrigerant-containing Equipment would be
considered an appliance and is excluded from definition as C&D debris.
For refrigerant-containing equipment, the following procedures shall be
followed:
Verify refrigerant has been removed. If not, a licensed refrigerant
removal service must be called to properly dispose of refrigerant.
Equipment that contains refrigerant will be HEPA vacuumed and
wet-wiped before being staged in a clearly demarcated on-site area
until the refrigerant has been removed by a licensed refrigerant
removal service.
Remove door on refrigerators and freezers.
After removal of refrigerant and otherwise rendering the appliance
safe, recycle or dispose of the appliances as scrap metal or as
municipal solid waste, respectively.
