When cleaning automotive parts, make sure to clean them in a self-contained unit, solvent sink, or parts washer to prevent solvents and grease from entering a sewer or storm drain. Contact your local recycling center to find where you can dispose of oils, solvents, etc.

Make sure to store vehicle parts and hazardous materials and waste such as fuels, solvents, batteries, and oils off the ground and in areas where they will not be exposed to rainwater or runoff

To prevent leaks and spills, train employees on how to properly cleanup work sites and always keep a spill kit with absorbent materials in the work area.
