A vehicle maintenance facility that doesn't generate waste oil? Impossible!
Making waste-oil management simple? Very possible. Waste oil is classified
as a regulated hazardous waste. Here are just a few important considerations
for handling, recycling and disposing of it:
- Recycle waste oil instead of disposing of it.
- Check to see whether mixing used oil with other petroleum products
or solvents triggers a different waste classification.
- If permitted, crush used oil filters over a waste oil drum to
increase the amount of oil extracted from the filter-and also
decrease disposal costs.
- Waste oils containing PCBs must be properly handled according to PCB requirements.
