(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 13, 2009 ) Long Beach, CA – Auto body repair shops are not often a great concern when we think about water pollution control; however, they are not a waterless operation. Water is required for wet sanding. Cars must be washed before and after auto body repair and painting.

The Department of Environmental Management (DEM) closely monitors those auto body shops with floor drains, especially those who choose to use drains that are not connected to the city sewer system.

By law, sanding/metallic dust or other auto body shop waste products may not be washed down open floor drains. They must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.

Joaquin Hernandez, owner of Collision on Wheels, a mobile auto body shop, does not operate out of a traditional auto body shop. They come to the customer, with a fully equipped van, to perform dent and scratch repair, auto paint repair, bumpers, fenders, doors and minor collision repairs, right in their driveway or the parking lot where they work. They place a special tent over the vehicle they’re working on to avoid distraction and damage to surrounding property. Technicians clean up when they’re through and take any waste products with them to dispose of properly.

Collision on Wheels takes great pride in being eco-friendly. They use the local commercial car wash with an in-ground system to catch and recycle waste water to prevent pollution. They repair, rather than replace, bumpers when possible, to reduce rubbish in the landfills.
