Waste Oil From Cleanouts and Tune ups

VIC_2

If the oil is fairly clean I put it back in the customers tank, this keeps my oil dump bucket empty, for bad oil I drop it off at most any gas station of auto shop that changes oil. They welcome it.

Waste Oil From Cleanouts and Tune ups

I think this question came up some time ago, I work in Boston area communities and I keep a 55 gallon drum for oil disposal and one for sludge when I replace oil tanks.When they are full I call in an environmental company to haul away. As you can imagine this is expensive and also push tank installation up. so the question is, Is there another legal way to dispose of waste oil that anyone is using presently? Just trying to cut cost.

Outside of what you are doing, the would think your only option would be to find someone who uses a waste oil furnace and deliver it for free. Or filter it yourself and burn the fuel oil for your own heat.

waste oil

strain the waste oil and add it to your own oil tank as for sludge you have to hire a waste removal co. that will take it

I'm with Ed

on this.
I burned my slop oil for years, miss it actually.

As to sludge if you solidify it you can dump it, check with DEP on this.

Getting rid of the oil

is the easy part. What does everyone do with all those spent filters/strainers ect?? I'm pretty sure that not everyone disposes of them "properly". Theres ALOT of filters going in the dumpster I'm sure. NOT good for the environment/landfills. We have to save them, put them in lined drums and PAY to have them taken away.
