AutoZone provides a 120-220 gallon portable tank wagon <br /> approved for this type of storage. The tank is generally kept in the back room of <br /> each store near the loading area. The tank is double-walled to prevent leaks or <br /> spills and provides 110% secondary containment. AutoZone uses Safety-Kleen <br /> Corp. or Asbury Environmental to remove and recycle the used oil when needed <br /> by each store. (Manifests are maintained in the store's o�ce filing system for up <br /> to three (3) years. Each container of used oil collected from the customer should <br /> be inspected for contamination before pouring it into the tank. The tank should <br /> also be periodically inspected for damage, contamination, or leaks. <br /> AutoZone also collects core batteries as a service to customers. Proper disposal <br /> of core batteries also protects our environment from the release of harmful acid. <br /> The batteries contain dilute sulfuric acid that can cause serious harm if it comes in <br /> contact with the eyes or skin. When acceptino the battery for recycling, the <br /> AutoZoners inspects the battery for leaks before handling it. If the battery is not <br /> leaking or damaged, the battery is then placed on the pallet in a specific battery <br /> storage area. If the battery is damaged or leaking, the battery is allowed to <br /> completely empty its leaking contents into a bucket before placing it on a pallet to <br /> be shipped to the distribution center. The acidic fluids in the bucket are then <br /> neutralized, using soda ash, and disposed of properly. (PPE must be worn during <br /> this process.) <br /> Mitigation and abatement (containment procedures) <br /> AutoZoners should quickly notify their manager in the event of a chemical spill. <br /> The manager will notify all AutoZoners and customers in the store of the spill. The <br /> manager will contact 3E at (800) 360-322Q to determine if evacuation is <br /> necessary. 3E will evaluate the situation and recommend what action to take. <br /> Environmental Business Plan 02003 AutoZonc, lnc.
