When a car is properly main￾tained, it runs cleaner and

more efficiently, and costs less to

operate. The same is true for an

automotive repair shop. By keep￾ing your shop “in tune,” you can

run a cleaner, more efficient shop

and save money.

A Best Management Practices Guide for Automotive Industries

Automotive related industries

create a variety of wastes, some

of which may be classified as haz￾ardous. This handbook describes

Best Management Practices (BMPs)

for automotive shops and related

industries to help control and

prevent pollution.

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

ARE RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES

THAT WILL HELP YOU:

• Comply with government mandated environmental require￾ments. (Specific regulations may vary from one municipality

to another. Use this handbook in conjunction with the ordi￾nances in your community. Environmental regulations can be

complex. This handbook does not cover all potential items.)

• Save money by finding ways to reduce or recycle your

wastes.

• Show customers they have made a wise choice by selecting a

shop that protects the environment.

• Protect public health and the health and safety of your

workers, by eliminating, reducing and controlling wastes.

• Reduce your liability by reducing your potential for site

contamination.

• Join other automotive repair shops in Oregon that are tak￾ing pride in maintaining a clean and healthy environment.

Automotive Industry Wastes

The individual sections in this handbook discuss solutions to a variety of automotive service

related pollution problems, listing Dos and Don’ts for proper handling of process wastes.

Reducing pollution may not be as hard as you think. A good place to start is to walk through

your shop and review all of the processes that use toxic chemicals or generate waste. You

should be able to use the information provided here to make at least one positive change for

our environment.
