What should happen to that used oil filter when it comes off your car.

I have worked as a diesel mechanic for many years and seen a lot of people who dont give a crap about environmental regulations. I worked the lube bay at a busy TA truck stop and was instructed to throw dripping oil filters in the trash (some hold 2-3 quarts of fluid) and not worry about crushing them. I learned in college that a business will not spend money to do the right thing, only what is cheapest in their interest... Great video to reclaim waste oil and steel products (prevent pollution)

I've done a lot of oil change for customers, and we always keep the oil used for the refineries to recycle it. But we are left with no right destination for the oil filters and the new oil containers that are empty and unused because they are contaminated waste. Fortunately we already see that it is possible to give destiny to one of these pieces that become useless after its time of life. Excellent video.

It is relatively easy to "open" the oil filter and remove the filter element, then the metal parts can be recycled. This has the added advantage of being able to inspect the filter element for metal particles or coolant. To open an oil filter, cut the can just below the plate that screws the filter on. You can use a pair of tin snips, a metal cut off wheel, a really big pipe cutter or what ever else you think will work.

@violentdawg7 жыл бұрын
It's not about making money... It's about keeping our planet cleaner. Sure there's money made, it is oil after all. Used oil can be used for many things. Then you take that raw metal and send it to metal companies to be reused instead of rotting in the ground. For instance an oil filter company could be buying this from him and re-using it to make new filters. But none the less he's making money, it's not like you charge a trash company or the landfill to take your trash lol, he's doing oil change companies a favor by taking these (usually they pay someone to safely dispose of the oil/filters)

Used oil is classified a hazardous waste here in California due to toxicity reasons. I work for the US Navy in the Environmental Division at a Naval Air Station and we would like to use this video as a training tool for the sailors and Navy civilians that handle used oil filters in our satellite accumulation areas. This video gives an excellent overview of the process and demonstrates why we label drums of used oil filters as a liquid hazardous waste instead of a solid.
@farmerluke25 жыл бұрын
Even the federal EPA classifies waste oil as non-hazardous and for sure waste oil filters carry that classification. There are only a few states that mandate oil filters have to be recycled. I'm sure California is one of those states; it's one of the few. Give me a call sometime and we can talk about how you want to use the video.

Yes. I have argued that point to death. If they cut the filter and remove the paper, they can use hot water & steam to remove the remaining oil. This process instead burns the paper filter and any remaining oil.
