Managing Waste Oil Filters is an issue. First we recommend a simple and easy method of crushing those oil filter to save space and save our Nations Class II Hazardous Waste Dumps. We need to becareful with our waste and amount of waste. Here are the procedures we use when dealing with all those old filters. First; Remove the filter from the engine while warm and immediately drain free-flowing oil. Put the drained oil in your waste oil drum or customized waste oil tank such as the ones we have on our vans http://www.oilchangeguys.com/ocgvan.pdf Notice the specially made custom 75 gallon waste oil tank. Then Puncture the filter dome. Place the filter on a rack to drain into a waste oil drum or tank at above 60 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 hours. Make sure crushed oil filter goes into the proper storage box, drum. http://www.oilchangeguys.com/nw4.shtml Our crushed oil filters are stored in a separate, closed metal container labeled "Waste Oil Filters." Always recycle used filters with a scrap metal dealer who has the necessary permit for EPA hazardous class II waste take it to your local Solid Waste District and get a permit for usage of the facilites there. Play it smart, used waste oil filters all too often end up wrapped in a Wal-Mart plastic bag and dumped into the nearest trash can and then dumped in the local landfill, not good.
