This topic was discussed at a meeting somewhere that I attended and here with our safety staff. The work around that we do here to conform to waste disposal regulations here in Ca. is that xylene for recycling is not classified as waste, so it does not enter the waste stream. Since you are not recycling waste you are not practicing "waste management".

This might be a little off the topic: We recently had the enjoyment of undergoing a day-long EPA inspection and we were issued a warning of "practicing waste management without proper permits" when they saw our recycler. Has anyone else ever been hassled by the EPA regarding this? Jim _______________________ James E.
