Install and Use a Solvent Recovery System
-- Saves money by reducing solvent replacement and disposal costs
Examples:
One shop recycles more than 100 drums of thinner per year, saving almost $26,000 in
new thinner costs and almost $6,800 in disposal costs annually.
- Rogers Body Shop, Inc., Bloomington, Minnesota, 1997
Since installing their solvent recycling system, another shop has recycled over 73
percent of its thinner and will save more than $400 in disposal costs by generating very
little waste.
-Orsini Collision Service, Ardmore, Pennsylvania, 2000
