Depending on your business size and industry, you might require a number of different liquid waste collection and disposal services. One of the most common forms of liquid waste is oil. Used oil, or ‘sump oil’ as it’s sometimes referred to, should not simply be thrown away. Oil is a waste stream that is best removed by a specialist company as it can pose risks to the people around it, and to the drainage systems that it could be flushed through.
Our oil waste collection services cater to all types of waste automotive and engine oils including used lubricating oil, oily water, oil filters, hydraulic oil and sump oil. Once collected, waste oil facilities receive and process all used oils and waters and recycle these materials in accordance with all related EPA and regulatory requirements.
While it does get dirty, used oil can still be cleaned and reused. In fact, your recycled oil could be used as an industrial burner fuel, as hydraulic oil, incorporated into other products or re-refined back into lubricating oil.
Liquid waste can pose serious health and environment risks. In particular, incorrect disposal of used oil has the potential to pollute land, water and infrastructure.
As a result, local and national government bodies have set controlling regulations and requirements surrounding liquid waste and how companies should be managing it. There are also additional rules applying to the storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous liquid wastes. That means we need to recover and recycle as much of it as possible.
