Tires / Oil Collection

Automotive Waste Oil Collection

Disposing of oil properly is a critical problem, and people will probably not stop dumping toxic waste until a convenient solution is derived. The Sanitation Division has solved this problem by providing an additional service to their curbside pickup. The collection trucks are now equipped with a waste oil repository to gain control over hazardous waste, protect the environment, and improve community service. The system is simple:

• Waste oil is placed at the curbside along with regular household trash. The oil should be placed in a screw tight disposable container (such as an old milk carton).
• Waste oil is then placed in the oil storage tank and allowed to drain from the household container while the collection crew proceeds to the next house.
• Once the oil container is drained, it is discarded in the rear hopper and compacted along with the other household refuse.
