I don’t have a major update as of now. I’ve a new student who will start looking at this issue. Maybe sometime in April or May, I’ll organize a meeting for us to make a plan to get started.

SSC Project: Greening the Garage
Associated Project(s):Hi Lisa,
As discussed during the SSC F&S feasibility meeting, I wanted to send over to you the product that we are requesting funding for. https://www.bendpak.com/shop-equipment/oil-filter-crushers/rp-50fc/ Based on this, are there any concerns?
Thank you,
Daphne

Hi Daphne,
Thank you for sending me the cut sheet for the oil filter crusher.
I don’t see any code requirements above and beyond what is already being done at the garage for oil filter disposal. I have no concerns, and neither does Mike Brown in Code Compliance and Fire Safety.
It is my opinion that this project is feasible, no changes needed.
Thank you,
Lisa

Thank you, Lisa! We appreciate you taking the time to thoroughly review this piece of equipment.

Hi Lisa & Morgan,
Shawn & I are submitting a SSC funding request for a piece of equipment at the garage that would allow us to crush and recycle metal oil filters. We go through about 1500 oil filters a year, and they are currently landfilled.
Thank you,
Daphne
