cWWeWS coma«, COMM, T(WW-t- Permitted Used Oil 1 Recycling Facility Recycled Oil Used Oil Management • Used oil is required to be managed as a haz- ardous waste in California unless it is shown to meet the specifications for recycled oil [HSC section 25250.1(b)(1)] or qualifies for a recy- cling exclusion [HSC section 25143.21. • In most instances, this means that the genera- tor contracts with a registered hazardous waste transporter to have the used oil picked up within 90 days of generation and transported to an autho- rized facility, typically a used oil recycling facility where the used oil is processed into recycled oil. • Mixing of hazardous waste, including house- hold hazardous waste, with used oil is prohibited. Don't mix used oil with anything else (paint, gasoline, solvents, antifreeze, etc.). INT XFE E S ENT Used Oil Generator Requirements • Persons or businesses generating used oil must meet used oil generator requirements. Used oil collection centers must also meet used oil generator requirements. • Householders who change their own oil ("do- it-yourselfers") are exempted from regulation as used oil generators. Householders are allowed to self -transport the used oil they generate to a used oil collection center or to a used oil recy- cling facility if specified conditions are met. • An identification number issued by DTSC is required for each location where used oil is stored. A generator with two or more sites of storage at the same location needs only one identi- fication number. Generators of 100 kilograms or less of hazardous waste per month (including used oil) who ship only used oil under a modified mani- fest or spent solvent under a milkrun procedure are not required to obtain an identification number. TO GET AN IDENTIFICATION NUMBER -'- CALL: (916) 324-1781 OR "' "°'"x 1 -800 -61 -TOXIC • Hazardous waste can be stored onsite for a period of up to 90 days without obtaining a haz- ardous waste storage facility permit. If used oil is the only hazardous waste generated and more than 100 kg (approximately 27 gallons) of used oil is generated in any calendar month, the 90 - day period begins on the first date on which any amount of used oil accumulates. If used oil is the only hazardous waste generated and not more than 100 kilograms (approximately 27 gallons) of used oil is generated in any calendar month, the 90 -day period begins on the date the generator has accumulated 100 kilograms of used oil. Generators of less than 1,000 kilograms of haz- ardous waste per month may qualify for longer storage periods when certain conditions are met [HSC section 25123.3(h)].
