How to Dispose of Waste Engine Oil as an Individual?

[SanOwen]

Regarding the disposal of waste engine oil, simply hand it over to a formal recycling center or company. In some places, you may even receive corresponding compensation. However, never discard waste engine oil directly, as it can cause significant harm to the ecological environment (soil, water bodies). The heavy metals contained in waste engine oil, once they seep into the soil, can take decades or even centuries to recover. Uses of waste engine oil: 1. Recycling for personal use: After purification and the addition of new additives, waste engine oil can become regenerated oil, which can then be repackaged and returned to the market. 2. Concrete release agent: Waste engine oil can be used as a concrete release agent on construction sites. It not only prevents concrete from sticking to construction molds but also provides some rust and corrosion prevention. 3. Road oiling: Spraying waste engine oil on dusty roads can help bind the dust and serve as a dust and sand control measure.
