2 INTRODUCTION
2.4 GUIDELINES FOR THE DISPOSAL
OF SCRAP PRODUCTS
When it has been identified that a turf care
product has no further functional value and
requires disposal, the following actions
should be taken.
These guidelines should be used in
conjunction with applicable Health, Safety
and Environmental legislation and use of
approved local facilities for waste disposal
and recycling.
• Position the machine in a suitable
location for any necessary lifting
equipment to be used.
• Use appropriate tools and Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and
take guidance from the technical
manuals applicable to the machine.
• Remove and store appropriately:
1. Batteries
2. Fuel residue
3. Engine coolant
4. Oils
• Disassemble the structure of the
machine referring to the technical
manuals where appropriate.
Special attention should be made
for dealing with ‘stored energy’
within pressurised elements of the
machine or tensioned springs.
• Any items that still have a useful
service life as second hand
components or can be re-serviced
should be separated and returned
to the relevant centre.
