Patterson Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 As many of you know I am the Branch Sales Manager for an Environmental/Industrial Services Company. As we have been moving forward and expanding Services that are provided. In addition to Parts Washer Service, Bulk as well as Containerized Waste Disposal, we built an Oil Re-refinery in 2010/2011. With a Capcity for up to 50 million gallons a year. What this means is we are paying top to near top dollar for Used Oil. What I'm looking for here is anyone that works in a Shop, owns a Shop, Garage, Truck Shop, or Factory whatever. I want to give away my Companies money. What we aren't paying for is Oily Water, Antifreeze, etc. We are more than happy to dispose of it for you. The amount we are paying will vary with generation frequency, amount, water contenet <10%, etc. I will say minimum amount paid is .75 cents per gallon. This is a good thing up until a few weeks ago we were not paying much over .50cpg. And that was like pulling Teeth. If you have Parts Cleaners I can set that up too. Solvent or Aqueous Based. We will dispose of anything short of Biohaz, Munitions, and Radioactive wastes. Unfortunately Shade tree guys with a gallon or two still need to take it down to a Parts Store or Prooper Disposal facility. Or take to a buddies business add to his and send him to me. We're looking for the stops that are going to be 100 gallons and up. He'll thank you for the extra cash. I make a ton of Cold Calls all day, but I can't get everywhere. PM me, or Call on my Company phone (614) 940-3944 if you are interested in setting up a meeting for an assesment of what you have.

SpaceGhost Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I have 10+ gallons of oil in a big container, tell me where to take it, or I'll bring it to you for free. The little places tell me it's too much, you say it's not enough, it's fucking frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I envisioned something like this. I've got probably 80 gallons myself.(monthly oil changes) It may be adventageous to find a garage that will take it rather than say Autozone, Advance etc. Problem with that is they need to file as a TSD (Treatment,Storage,Disposal) Facility with the EPA. I've got a possible solution but I want to make sure its viable first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 There is a large Dealership near 33 that uses Oil Burners to heat all their shops that is setup to accept used oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'll bet I've let 20+ gallons build up in the garage, and I'm just to lazy to take it to work. My shop and my Dad's shop all burn their oil in the winter, so I don't really know who you'd find anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 The Northend Wrench INC. 4330 Indianola Avenue Columbus, 43214 I work here^^ Open 7am to 6pm M-F, I'm, there during almost all business hours. Bring it on down we burn it for heat.....we have 2 250gal containers and about 8 55 gallon drums we store it in. Plus in the summer we empty 1 of the 250 gallon containers due to running out of space lol. We have guys that stop down here with their 10 gallon containers all the time. We also get a bunch of cooking grease from school cafeterias if anyone needs it for their diesel....

Clifford Automotive Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Everyone with oil needing disposal, feel free to bring it by my shop and put it in my container out back. Like he is already stated I dont want antifreeze or anything else. If I see separation as your pouring I will tell you to stop and go home.

Dave1647545494 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I can take the nasty stuff as long as its not more than 50% antifreeze/other oh and you guys with 5 gallon buckets can come on down too.... 5767 westerville road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Sonoma Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 OP: I noticed you mentioned Aqueouis based parts cleaners. Are those the type that use micro organisms to help break down oil based products? One of my customers has two of these in theyre shop and they work pretty decent. No harmful chemicals and it smells pretty decent. They call the micros "bugs" as a common catch phrase. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No harmful chemicals and it smells pretty decent. They call the micros "bugs" as a common catch phrase. Just curious. Honestly, they're junk. And that's not because I don't sell them. They'd work okay in a light oil environment like a Machine Shop with a lot of Water Soluble Oils, but eventually the "bugs" can't break down all the oils and die off. Then you're left with 20 gallons or more of Oily water to get rid of. Plus the filters. All Hazardous Waste. Not necessarily RCRA Regulated, but it's not something that can just go into the trash, or down the drain. The bulk of the Aqueous solutions we use are either Citrus or Alkaline based. We change them out on a regular basis, keeps the unit clean, disposes of the spent cleaner, and you get a uniform cleaning process, no filters to buy, or clean out for less money.

Patterson Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Just so everyone knows, Used Oil is: Engine Oil, Transmission Fluid, Gear Oil, Hydraulic Fluid, Brake Fluid, Cutting Oils, Drawing Fluids, etc.. It can be Synthetic or Conventional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% and have seen those exact issues when I was in the plant and the service guy was there. They always just blamed it on the filters clogging and not being maintained... but the fact is the "bugs" couldnt consume it all. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Sweet, I almost got 100 gallons of used oil. I am gonna fill one more 55 gallon drum then I will be in touch with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
