generators are continuing to collect large numbers of PCB-containing
light ballasts as they implement large-scale projects replacing
old ballasts with new energy-efficient ballasts. PCB Disposal
processes ballasts at our transfer station where the tar and
capacitors are removed from the ballast and are disposed of
by incineration. The copper component is recovered for metal
recycling. Large street light ballasts generated by municipal
electrical utilities are also handled in the same way. |

PCB
Disposal removes large PFC (power factor correction) capacitors
from our clients' site(s) as well as small electrical capacitors
that are often found as integral parts of various electrical
equipment. Large PFC units that are not leaking are palletized
and banded to save on disposal costs and leakers are placed
in 16 gauge drums prior to transportation. All PCB capacitors
are disposed of by incineration. We also provide our customers
with non-PCB replacement ballasts and capacitors for those who
desire a turnkey operation.

| Disposal
of PILC Cable & Potheads |
| |
|
As
part of PCB Disposal's complete service package, PCB-contaminated
cable and potheads are removed from site and transported to
our transfer station for metal recovery. Potheads are drained
of the tar insulation which is incinerated and the hulk is decontaminated.
Cable is stripped of it's sheath and the copper and porous components
are incinerated. The copper and other recoverable metals are
then sent to a metal recycling facility following confirmation
that they meet government decontamination standards.
