Is your bodyshop a smart bodyshop?

Managing your bodyshop waste correctly and safely can save you money. Different types of wastes are produced in a bodyshop, many of which are hazardous, and there is legislation that applies to them. Here are some tips to manage your waste correctly and safely and to save money.

Smart Guide

Many bodyshop operators have become more environmentally responsible and have saved money by implementing the practices in the Smart Garage Guide.

To use the guide and to get the best from it you can do the following:

Download the guide from the EPA website which can be found at: http://www.epa.ie/pubs/reports/waste/wpp/smartgarageguide.html

Fill in the checklists for waste, water and energy.

Pick one action (that is easy to do and which will save you money) and implement it.

Then go back to the checklist and start implementing the next action.

Non-compliance with waste legislation may lead to legal action and prosecution.
