What you should not do

• Discharge used oil into, for example, sewers, waterways or the soil
• Incinerate used oil, unless you have a licensed installation/furnace to do so
• Mix used oil, for example with PCBs, water, solvents, cleaning agents, animal or vegetable oils, detergents, brake fluids, fuels and other waste materials

Have waste oil collected or returned?

Professionals can have their oil collected by an approved collector. Under certain conditions, you can receive an oil recycling premium yourself. As a private individual, you can hand in your oil for free at a container park or collection point.
