How do you dispose of used lubricants？

During the maintenance and use of automobiles, a large amount of waste lubricating oil will be generated. These waste lubricating oil contains a variety of harmful substances, such as heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, sulfides, etc. If these waste lubricating oils are not handled properly, they will not only cause serious pollution to the environment, but may also violate relevant laws and regulations. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand and master the proper treatment methods and environmentally friendly treatment methods of waste lubricating oils.

Process of DOING used lubricants dispose machine

If the amount of waste lubricating oil you want to dispose is small, you can sell it directly to the waste oil recycling center. You can search for recycling centers near you on Google. For large quantities of waste lubricating oil to be treated, common methods for treating used lubricants include incineration, landfill, and recycling—but each has distinct advantages and drawbacks. Incineration in facilities with strict pollution controls can convert organic matter into heat energy, yet high-temperature combustion may release dioxins and other toxic gases if not meticulously managed. This method is energy-intensive and offers no material recovery, making it less sustainable compared to recycling. Landfilling is strongly discouraged due to the risk of oil seepage into soil and groundwater, causing long-term ecological damage; even when pre-treated to meet standards, it eliminates the possibility of resource reuse and poses ongoing environmental liabilities.
