Waste Oil Disposal
The EPA estimates some two hundred million gallons of used oil are improperly disposed of each year. The rules and regulations for proper disposal or recycling of used oil are complex and each state has additional regulations that you must be in compliance with.
As a point source of used oil it is your ulimate responsibility to properly dispose or recycle the used oil. The days are gone of being able to just call up the “local oil guy” and have it just “go away”. The business risks of improper disposal are huge – even if you contract the disposal to another firm the EPA (or state agencies) can pursue you for the resulting fines and clean up. Remember – the deepest pockets are almost always on the hook in the US.
If you consider all the risks and the benefits, we think you’ll agree that onsite recycling in the form of heat generation is the safest and ultimately the most environmentally friendly way of recycling your used oil.
