Do you all charge extra for pretensioner, airbag, and brake booster as a hazmat fee? Similar to what you would do with batteries and oil waste? I have a ton of pretensioners, for example that need to be hauled away and the cost is huge. Thanks in advance!

Never had an issue with airbags and pre-tensioners; our shop foreman pops them and we dumpster them. Boosters go right in dumpster and never thought otherwise.

We do the same thing here, Possum. We have had a couple boosters with core charges, but no hazmat paperwork to return them. We charge a disposal fee for tires, because we actually pay to dispose of them. The fluids we charge as part of the shop supplies.

Denise, We've never itemized booster cores as hazardous on return to Hollingsworth.
