What are the rules for guaranteeing collection and for quality recycling?
Collection from your work premises is entirely free of charge, you don’t pay thing. Nevertheless, to ensure that the service is free, that your waste is of quality (an essential condition for it to be recycled) and that collection operations can be carried out safely, we do ask that you comply with certain rules.
RULE 1: Guarantee the quality of your waste

Never mix your waste oil with other waste. This will ensure that the levels of water, chlorine and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) contained within meet collection requirements.
-
Comply with sampling obligations required by law.
-
If your collection system is located outside, ensure that it is protected from the rain to avoid being polluted by water.
Do not mix your oil-change oil with other waste such as:
Coolant
Fuel
Brake
fluid
Solvents
Water
What content levels are to be met by your waste oils?
≤ 5% water
< 0,6% chlorine
< 50 ppm de PCB (Polychlorinated biphenyl)
RULE 2: ensure personal safety and accessibility to your containers during collection
-
Package your waste oil in 200-litre drums or tanks with a retention tank.
-
Ensure that your containers can be pumped during collection.
-
Plan ahead. Contact us when your containers are 80% full.
-
Ensure that access can be gained in safe conditions, without having to do any climbing, and at a distance of no more than 20 meters from the pumping equipment.
-
Do not make the collection operator wait more than 15 minutes before allowing him to access your waste oils and before starting the pumping operation.

Keep collection receipts.
-
Keep samples taken for 18 months.
