Oil
& Lubricants
Eventually vehicle oil
and lubricants must be replaced with virgin or re-refined materials
to do the job correctly. It is imperative that all regulations are
met and that procedures are in place to prevent or limit the
accidental release of used oil and lubricants to surface water,
groundwater, or soils.
LGEAN resources most
applicable to used oil and lubricants include:
-
Solid
Waste. Provides a summary of issues including
national waste generation rates, landfill capacity problems, and
landfill and incinerator regulations. This resource also includes
links to numerous useful documents.
-
Hazardous
Waste. Many local governments must deal with
hazardous wastes both as a hazardous generator and as the
responsible entity for protecting landfills and other municipal
solid waste collection/disposal operations from hazardous waste
disposal. Use this resource to learn more about federal and state
rules.
