Safety Kleen charges pretty large fees for disposal of wastes but the fees are cheaper than the fines and they are about the best for making sure your butt is covered....I had a company that would pay me by the gallon for my waste oil,but I had no guarantee what was happening with the waste oil and if it would ever come back to haunt me..

Cradle to Grave means if you generate the waste product you are responsible for it FOREVER no matter where it goes until it is properly disposed of or recycled......


D L Rambo....

yep, and a lot of people do not know this! i hold a hazmat class a licence, wonder if it would keep me free of fines, lol..

As with any waste, it is up to the generator (in this case, the racer) to determine whether the material is waste or not. As for me; after removing my expensive synthetic oil after 20 passes in my racecar, I simply transport it back home where it is perfectly acceptable for use in my lawnmower. I'm not transporting hazardous waste; I'm recycling. Al Gore would be proud!

In Florida, where I live, almost every auto parts store has a "waste oil" (not hazardous waste) recovery program. The county I live in (county next to the county for Gainesville) has solid waste disposal sites. The state/county encourges drop off of used motor oil. I don't know the law, for certain, but I think as long as the used oil is less then a certain amount, it is perfectly legal to transport it in the original containers (or even milk jugs), in your personal vehicle.
If NHRA/Gainesville raceway will not allow you to retain custody of your used oil, is that not a violation of the law? It is your property, is it not?

PS: Hi Rich, haven't seen you since the old days at the cabbage patch.

What happens when you get chosen for teardown and a piston gets pulled? Do you get to take your oil with you or are you required to go through this mess?
