Industrial Fluid Disposal: What You Need to Know
Industrial fluids include oils, coolants, solvents and chemicals used in machinery, manufacturing, or heavy equipment maintenance. These liquids are often classified as hazardous waste and require licensed handling and disposal under environmental regulations.
Improper disposal can cause serious harm to ecosystems and human health.
How to dispose of industrial fluids
Store used industrial fluids in clearly labelled, sealed containers. Never pour them down drains, on soil or into general waste. Contact a licensed hazardous waste collector to arrange for compliant transport and disposal. Businesses must keep records for traceability and EPA compliance.
Risks and environmental responsibility
Many industrial fluids are toxic, flammable or corrosive. Spills and leaks can contaminate soil, groundwater and waterways. Responsible disposal protects workers, communities and the environment – and demonstrates corporate environmental responsibility.
