Many of the companies
in this section may offer a comprehensive service for the collection of a whole
range of automotive wastes from vehicle workshops such as brake fluid, antifreeze,
oil filters, tyres, batteries, etc.
Used lubricating oils
Five litres of oil is enough to form a film over a small lake, dramatically
reducing the level of oxygen in the water and making it difficult for fish to
breathe. It will also coat plants and animals that come into contact with it.
Oil contamination can make rivers unfit as sources of water supply.
Annual UK consumption of lubricating oils is about 800,000 tonnes, of which 50 per cent is lost during use through minor leaks, engines burning oil, and use as a fuel/oil mixture in two-stroke engines. 85 per cent of the residual waste is recovered, but significantly this does not include most of the domestic arisings from DIY oil changes. Industrial oils (hydraulic fluids, cutting oils, coolants etc), unlike lubricating oils, do not usually become heavily contaminated and batches of known source and composition may be laundered relatively easily for re-use, with typical cost savings of about 40 per cent. This may be carried out either by local contractors or in-house use of filtration and separation equipment.
For detailed advice on pollution prevention measures, contact your local office of the Environment Agency and ask to be sent the relevant Pollution Prevention Guidance Notes.
If a spill occurs
ring the
Environment Agency hotline on 0800 80 70 60. When employing a company for
a clean-up, the Environment
Agency and UKSpill operate an accreditation scheme for spill response contractors - so it
is wise to enquire about accreditation.
Preventing pollution from oil
Large car parks should drain via an oil interceptor, as they are often connected
to the rain water drainage system which leads to a local watercourse.
Oil storage tanks should be sited on an impervious base and surrounded by an oil-tight bund wall. The bunded area should be large enough to contain 110 per cent of the volume of the tank and all the pipes and gauges should be enclosed within it. The vent pipe should be directed downwards into the bund. There should be no drainage outlet in the wall. Householders with oil-fired heating should regularly check their tank and pipes for leaks.
Petrol filling stations forecourts should drain via an oil separator. Any contaminated wash water used to clean up oil spillages on the forecourt must be discharged to the foul sewer or collected for disposal off site.
Deliveries of oil should be supervised, to ensure storage tanks are not overfilled and that the oil is delivered into the right tank. Fuel delivery areas should be surrounded by a raised kerb with drainage passing through a suitable oil separator. All valves and gauges should be locked securely after a delivery.
Pipework underground can corrode and this poses a risk to underground water supplies. Where possible, above ground pipelines should be used. It is best to clearly mark all pipework to show the type of oil and where a pipe leads.
Disposal options for used oils
Public disposal facilities (mainly at civic amenity sites) can be located through
the Environment Agency’s Oil Bank Line (0800 663366), or on www.oilbankline.org.uk.
Most recovered oil
is now processed into low sulphur content fuel oil - a profitable activity with
a range of companies providing collection services. Many of them also take away
the full range of ‘nasties’ produced by the automobile maintenance
industry. An alternative option - burning as a heating fuel for garages and
workshops, continues on a small scale, controlled by local authority environmental
health departments or by the Environment Agency (depending on the size of the
appliance.)
Solvents
This is a complex area; solvents can be used in a huge variety of ways. Uses
include industrial cleaning, de-watering, de-greasing, distillation, and as
components of formulated products such as paints, adhesives and inks. Many solvents
are flammable and most are toxic, both in liquid form and as inhaled vapours
(in sufficient concentration); most are also harmful to human skin. As well
as their potential for polluting groundwater and watercourses, many are highly
volatile and their atmospheric release contributes to the greenhouse effect,
and under suitable conditions, to the formation of photochemical smog.
Increasingly, responsible companies are substituting water-based products for solvents. The Environmental Technology Best Practice Programme can advise on this, and also runs workshops on the topic. Segregation of waste solvents is particularly important for maximising value and recovery potential, and for avoiding hazardous mixtures and potential pollution problems. Vapours of the chlorinated group should be contained in appropriate handling systems if they cannot be avoided by product substitution.
The Oil Care Campaign - see below - was established by the Environment Agency, Household Hazardous Waste Forum, the petroleum industry, local authorities and retailers, to reduce oil pollution incidents through improved understanding of the causes and means of prevention. Includes Freephone helpline 0800 663366.
SOLVENT COLLECTION TIP
Dispensing a flammable liquid from a metal barrel into a metal container using
a metal funnel can cause static electricity build-up. Check with your solvent
collector and ensure that your drums of waste solvent are earthed or other steps
are taken to prevent sparks.
PAINT SPRAY BOOTH
TIP
If your staff wear respirators when working in spray booths, consider storing
the respirators in plastic bags when not in use. This will prevent the cartridges
from absorbing the vapours present in the workshop and shortening their life
spans. Also reduce vapours in the work area and solvent loss by keeping all
solvent containers closed when possible

Of 410 million litres of paint sold each year in the UK ( trade and domestic),
80 million litres (enough to fill 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools) are stored, hoarded
in garages or wasted. Paint can also come from traders, painters and decorators and retail.
When thrown "away", it has until recently been disposed of in
landfill. Community Re>Paint provides a practical solution to this waste stream that is environmentally and socially beneficial.
It is a national network of
schemes which diverts one of the most common types of Hazardous Household Waste
- unwanted paint - from the waste stream, sorts and redistributes it free for
re-use by community groups, charities, and people on low incomes. About 70 local paint schemes
operate around the UK - case studies on website. Householders can donate surplus paint
at drop- off points (usually a walk-in skip) such as a DIY store, civic amenity site, facilities at council
or parish offices, kerbside collection, or direct delivery to the scheme's base. Community Re>Paint schemes are usually
run by voluntary groups but with active support from local authorities,
DIY retailers and waste management companies. SWAP offers a £3000 capital grant, promotional material and advice and support on set up and operation.
Main needs are collection site, portakabin or shipping container, and staff,
time and finances to keep the scheme going. The initiative has provided technical advice, training, promotional assistance and some
capital grant funding to start local collection schemes. Website has
details of local schemes. Examples (WasteBook section 82) are ECT
and Newbury Community Furniture Project. Community Re>Paint won Best Minimisation Project
at Biffaward Awards 2000. Unacceptable materials: Paint thinners,
brush cleaners, stripper, varnishes and wood stains, preservatives and
treatments, car and industrial paint, aerosol and spray paint, paint not in its
original container. Usable paint: emulsion, gloss, eggshell, satin,
silk, undercoat, primer, floor, masonry and exterior paint, plus end-of-line
paint from retailers. The national network was begun in 1992, and is co-ordinated
by, Save Waste And Prosper, an organisation specialising in sustainable resource management, waste minimisation and recycling.

Joint initiative established 1995 by the Environment Agency, the petroleum industry, local authorities and retailers, to reduce oil pollution incidents through improved understanding of the causes and means of prevention. Now managed by EA and Household Hazardous Waste Forum. A key target is the 'DIY motorist' - people who service their own vehicle, and may be ignorant of a disposal route for oil, or the serious impact - an oil change is enough to form a film over a four-acre lake. Advice, information and promotional material on website or by post: a major part of the campaign is to promote much wider use of oil banks for disposal of used lubricating oil, through the Oil Bank Line, freephone 0800 663366. This provides callers with details of location, based on postcodes, and opening times of their nearest oil recycling banks. Key to the campaign is the Oil Care Code - Don't pour used oil down the drain - Take it to an oil bank. Call 0800 663366 to find the location. Don't mix used oil with other materials such as solvents and paint. Also to improve the infrastructure for collecting used oil from the public. Oil banks are often at civic amenity sites, garage repair workshops, petrol forecourts, supermarket car parks. Oil is sent for recycling, and commonly used as fuel for smelting, stone drying, brickworks, coking and steam generation. 2.5% of all used oil is re-refined. (Updated Aug 2004)
