SAF-WAY RECYCLER

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Saf-way Recycler is a subsidiary of Nu-Way Environmentalist of Georgia Incorporated. Howard and Marie Smallwood, the owners and founders of Saf-way Recycler, started picking up used oil in 1978 in a single axle pump truck, and we are proud to say that our corporation still picks up oil from some of those same customers today. Saf-way, year after year, now employing three generations of Smallwood family members, quietly and consistently continues to pick up used oil, filters and anti-freeze from service stations, quick-lube businesses, fleet services, and auto dealerships in South and North Carolina.

We have learned over the years that what keeps businesses happy and coming back to us after they try one of our competitors' 'deals' is simple: our unwavering loyalty to our customers and the fact that we offer a full range of services, from simple disposal of their used products, to comprehensive state compliance inspections to accidental release response and clean up. We offer these services reliably and at a fair and consistent price. We understand that our customers are in business to service their own customers, not to worry about disposal of their used products or any of the numerous compliance laws. That's why one of our goals is to assure our customers that we have those issues under control.

Something our customers may NOT understand is the effort we put forth ensuring we not only meet our stated goals, but also ensuring that our environment is a cleaner, safer place for all of us today and for the generations to come. Saf-way has always treated and always will treat the products they handle with utmost respect to our environment. Our personnel are constantly trained so that they are up to date on the latest Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Health and Environmental Control regulatory laws and waste disposal directives. This training gives them the ability to offer our customers valuable information and insights on whether their business is in compliance with the requirements of the state and federal agencies mentioned above.

Saf-way has invested in all the right equipment and training so that we can continue to comply with the requirements of the facilities that take your used products and with the state and federal imposed compliance regulations. Our service fleet has grown from that single pump truck 35 years ago to an array of trucks, tankers, trailers and other equipment to provide our customers their choice of the best, most reliable and cost effective value added service packages possible.

SERVICES:

Used Oil Disposal - we provide our customers, as an option, a properly sized tank to store their used oil in, put that customer on a schedule so that the oil is retrieved from the container on a regular basis, test the oil to assure that it is not contaminated with hazardous materials, and then take the oil to a repurposing facility to be converted to usable product. Upon receipt of this container you will be advised on how to properly place it and how to construct the required containment for compliance reasons.

Used Oil Filter Disposal - all filters that we pick up are processed in our shop so that they can be taken to a metal recycler, not dumped in a landfill for future generations to deal with. That process includes providing the customer with the appropriate container(s), servicing that container, picking up and transporting the filters to our shop, squeezing the oil out of them at over 40,000 psi and then loading them again on our truck to be transported to the recycler.

Used Anti-freeze Disposal - again, we provide the container for our customer to store the used product in, pick the product up, and transport it to the appropriate recycling facility. None of the product we pick up from our customers is ever 'disposed of' in the literal sense. It is always recycled correctly.

Renegade Parts Washers - Saf-way is a distributor of Renegade parts washers. Check out their many products on the Renegade Parts Washers website, and contact us with any interest. Special pricing and payment options for regular customers!

DHEC compliance inspections - Saf-way Recycler offers a range of compliance inspection services from bi-annual oil separator inspections to a multi-point full facility inspection. Each inspection is performed by a trained representative and is followed up by a written summary detailing the results of the inspection. This can be an invaluable document to have on file in the case of a 'surprise' visit from your local DHEC inspector. Depending on the service package you choose these inspections can be done at regular intervals or on a 'call in' basis.

Accidental Release Response and Clean Up - in the event that petroleum products are accidentally spilled or released into the environment, Saf-way is fully trained and prepared to assist you in getting it cleaned up. We have all the necessary equipment and supplies to contain and remove the product and to remediate the property where the release occurred. We also remove underground storage tanks (UST) for businesses and residences. We own our own Vac truck, backhoe and dump trucks which allow us to keep the costs for these types of jobs competitive while not exposing the customer to untrained sub-contractors and the problems they can sometimes cause.

Emergency Response - Saf-way is on South Carolina DHEC's list of contractors which offer emergency response and clean up services. We are equipped to respond to most petroleum based incidents within a seventy five mile radius. In the past we have assisted in both marine and land based emergency incidents. Our working relationship with DHEC and local authorities on these types of jobs is outstanding.
