Used Oil Pickup

What a used oil pickup includes

A driver on a route comes to your site, pumps or loads what you have, hauls it away, and leaves you the record of it. Here is what that covers.

  • Scheduled collection. Your site goes on a route, so pickups repeat at a rhythm that matches how fast you fill.
  • Pumped or loaded, and hauled. Our driver pumps your tank or loads your drums and takes the oil away.
  • More than the oil. Used oil filters, spent antifreeze and spent absorbents go on the same visit.
  • A receipt at every service. Emailed at the time of service, on paper if you want one, and kept in your Customer Portal for as long as you need it.
  • Our own people and equipment. Our drivers, our trucks, our trailers, our training, and a $20 million blanket insurance policy behind the work.
  • Routing that adapts. Computerized routing puts you on the first available date a driver is in your area, and next-day pickup is sometimes possible.

The oil we collect goes to our own re-refinery. It's processed back into new base oil at our plant in Peachtree City, Ga., rather than sold on to someone else to deal with.

Who we collect from

The businesses we collect from

If your business generates used oil as part of its work, we can collect it. We collect from businesses, not from people changing their own oil at home.

Auto repair shops and quick lubes

The most common site we serve. Steady oil volume, a tank or a set of drums, and a schedule that repeats. Filters and absorbents come with it.

Dealerships

Service departments running high volume with paperwork requirements to match. Records land in the portal, ready when someone asks for them.

Fleets and transport yards

Trucking, buses, municipal yards and equipment fleets. Larger tanks, tighter windows, and a driver who works around your operation rather than through it.

Manufacturing and industrial plants

Process oils, hydraulic oils and oily water in volume. Where the waste stream is mixed or unusual, our hazardous and special waste team takes the parts that need it.

Not sure whether we can take yours?

Tell us what you have and roughly how much of it. We'll tell you straight away whether it's something we collect, and what happens next if it is.

Ask us
How it works

What happens after you contact us

Four steps, and the first reply comes back the same business day.

STEP 1

Tell us what you have

Call, or send the form at the bottom of this page. Roughly how much oil, what else is in the shop, and where you are. That's enough to start.

STEP 2

We set up your service

We reply the same business day. We work out your service around your volume, your location and the type of oil you generate, and confirm what your collection looks like.

STEP 3

Our driver collects

You go on the first available date a driver is in your area, and next-day pickup is sometimes possible. The driver pumps or loads, and takes filters, antifreeze and absorbents at the same time.

STEP 4

You keep the records

A receipt is emailed to you at the time of service, on paper if you want one, and your full service history stays in the Customer Portal.

Records and compliance

The paperwork you get

Every service leaves a record, and every record stays available. You should never have to call us to prove a pickup happened.

  • A receipt emailed at the time of service, and a paper copy on request.
  • Your full service history in the Customer Portal, retrievable any time.
  • Transporter EPA identification number, quantity, date and time on every record.
  • Safety Data Sheets and Certificates of Insurance available in the portal.
  • Member of Enfinite, the Industrial Liquid Recycling Association, and of ILMA, the Independent Lubricant Manufacturers Association.

Our re-refinery

What happens to your oil

The oil we collect is processed at our own plant in Peachtree City, Ga., rather than sold on to someone else to deal with.

Used oil that's suitable for it is re-refined into new base oil, the base ingredient of new lubricants. Re-refining base oil from used oil takes 50 to 85 percent less energy than refining it from crude, according to a United States Department of Energy study. The contaminants taken out of the oil, which would otherwise be released if the oil were simply burned, are solidified and recycled into asphalt compound.

Oil that isn't suitable for re-refining is put to use as an industrial fuel oil rather than going to waste.

Common questions

What kinds of businesses do you collect from?

Auto repair shops, quick lubes, dealerships, fleets and transport yards, and manufacturing and industrial plants. We collect from businesses. For a household oil change, your municipal dump takes small quantities, where one is available.

What do you collect besides used oil?

Used oil filters, spent antifreeze and spent absorbents go on the same visit. We also collect oily wastewater, parts washer solvent and fluorescent bulbs, and our hazardous and special waste team handles regulated streams.

How soon can you come?

We reply the same business day. You go on the first available date a driver is in your area, and next-day pickup is sometimes possible.

What paperwork do I get?

A receipt emailed at the time of service, on paper if you want one, and your full service history in the Customer Portal, with the transporter EPA identification number, quantity, date and time on every record.

What happens to the oil after you collect it?

Oil suitable for re-refining goes to our own plant in Peachtree City, Ga., and is processed back into new base oil. Oil that isn't suitable is put to use as an industrial fuel oil.

Do you serve my state?

We run active routes in 28 states. The list further up this page shows all of them. If your state is on it, ask and we'll tell you what coverage looks like where you are.
