Companies can reduce sorbent use and lower waste costs by applying cleanup methods that capture liquid oil for recycling. Use equipment such as drip pans, squeegees and liquid vacuums to capture visible oil before using sorbents. Companies can also minimize sorbent waste by fully using sorbent materials until they are no longer effective before sending them off-site for management. Wringing and mechanical extraction can help extend the life of sorbent materials.

Three common methods used to manage used sorbents are high-pressure solvent extraction, permitted laundering and off-site burning for energy recovery. Both solvent extraction and laundering allow absorbent materials to be put back in use many times, conserving resources. Before sending your sorbents to be laundered, the free oil should be removed by wringing using a mechanical wringer or extractor. The recovered oil can be reused or managed as used oil.

If you have further questions about automotive fluids, filters, sorbent management, or transporters, contact your county hazardous waste office or the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency at (651) 296-6300.

Motor Oil, Automotive Fluids, Lubricating and Industrial Process Oils

Minnesota Statutes §115A.916 prohibits the disposal of motor oil on land, in the sewer system, or with solid waste. Improper disposal of oil and other automotive lubricants can harm vegetation and pollute water supplies. The prohibition also includes brake fluid, power steering fluid and transmission fluid.

For disposal of small quantities of automobile oils and fluids, contact your local retailer to locate management options. See the table below for businesses that transport waste oil and other fluids.

When hiring a transporter, ensure that the company has an EPA identification number and will take your oil to a proper handling facility.

Oil Filters

Used oil filters generated by businesses and residents may not be disposed of on land or in solid waste and should instead be recycled. See the table below for businesses that accept oil filters for recycling.
