Food Processing Experts Answer your Plant Questions: Recycling Oil Waste

I’ve been thinking of trying to recycle some of my oil waste. What should I look for to create a viable and economical plan?

• Like any sound business decision, there are numerous factors to consider when choosing the right oil recycler for your company. Some things to keep in mind include:
  Check the company’s records to confirm it is a state-approved used oil handler.
• A vendor must be registered as a transporter if it is collecting and transporting waste oil. 
• Request a certificate of insurance to make sure the company is properly covered in case anything happens. 
• Confirm the vendor has a responsible system for tracking waste streams it collects. If the vendor abuses the waste stream responsibilities, the end consequences will fall back to the originator of the waste (your company).
