In CA it is not illegal to transport waist oil unless you are caring a amount over the legal limit. I belive its up to around 40 gallons before you need to have the proper permit and also a Haz Mat endorsement on your license. So if we carry around a five gallon bucket of used oil sealed in a bucket its not a problem. Remember It becomes Hazardous Waist only after its been used.
