Understanding how to dispose of auto oil is essential for anyone involved in automotive maintenance or repair. Improper disposal, such as pouring oil down the drain, can lead to legal repercussions and environmental pollution. Oil is classed as hazardous waste and must be removed by a professional team or disposed of at a licensed oil bank.
Recycling used engine oil ensures that this potentially harmful waste does not damage the environment. Here’s an overview of how to dispose of engine oil properly:
Oil Collection and Storage
The first step in how to dispose of oil in the UK is oil storage requirements. Businesses are required to store used engine oil in secure containers to prevent leaks and spills.
Transportation To A Licensed Recycling Centre
Once the used oil is safely stored, it is transported to a designated recycling centre. These centres are equipped to handle and process large quantities of used oil safely.
Purification Process
At the recycling centre, the oil undergoes several purification processes to remove any contaminants, water, and debris. This step is essential to prepare the oil for its next phase of life.
Recycling and Reprocessing
The cleaned oil can then be reprocessed into new products. It can be refined back into new lubricating oil, and processed into fuel oils and various petroleum-based products.
