<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">The used abrasive can be removed from the bottom of your tank using an abrasive removal system, or by shoveling it out. There are several options at that point:  The waste abrasive can be run through a WARD Pro abrasive recycling unit which will result in dry abrasive being deposited back into a storage hopper for reuse with your abrasive waterjet. The waste abrasive can be removed and then stored in abrasive bags for recycling at a later point. Abrasive can be stored for years and then recycled when it becomes feasible. By using the reusable abrasive storage bags available through WARDJet, the water will be able to seep out leaving you with slightly moist abrasive. These bags have bottoms that open for easy dumping when you're ready to recycle. Waste abrasive can be disposed of either into waste drums or directly into your dumpster. Garnet itself is inert and is not considered hazardous as long as none of the material you have been cutting with your waterjet is considered hazardous.</span></p>
