Kevin is showing how to use plumbing pipes to drain and recycle waste oil from equipment. Creating responsible drainage for waste oil is essential to prevent environmental contamination. Here are some steps to follow.
Store waste oil in appropriate sealed containers to prevent spills or leaks.
Choose a designated area for oil collection ideally on impermeable surfaces like concrete or asphalt away from storm drains and water bodies.
Install secondary containment measures like berms or spill pallets under oil storage containers to capture any leaks.
Clearly label oil containers as “used oil” to prevent accidental disposal of regular trash.
When pouring oil, use a funnel or drip pan to catch any spills and direct them back into the container.
Inspect containers and collection areas regularly to identify and address any issues promptly.
Transfer waste oil to certified collection centers or recycling facilities. Do not mix it with any other substances.
Train employees on proper waste oil handling and disposal procedures.
Develop a plan for handling spills or accidents including having absorbent materials and spill kits on hand.
Ensure compliance with local, state and federal regulations related to waste oil disposal.
Keep records of waste oil disposal and maintenance activities for regulatory compliance.
Remember that responsible waste oil management is crucial for environmental protection and legal compliance.
