Waste Oil

It is illegal to dispose of waste oil at a sanitary landfill unless it is for temporary storage or collection for recycling.

Farm generated waste oil can be used for road oiling, dust suppression and weed control. Some counties may require permits or notices to apply road oil.

Waste oil taken to waste oil collector must be in a closed, unbreakable, preferably reusable container of five gallons or less. Contaminated oil cannot be taken to a waste oil collection site.

Oil dealers are to post signs noting location of waste oil collection sites. If there is no site in your county, nearest collection site is to be posted.
