Environmental Protection Precautions
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down 
sewers or drains, or  into water courses.
Burning of used engine oil in small space heaters or 
boilers should only be considered for units of 
approved design and in compliance with the 
equipment manufacturer's recommendations. The 
heating system must meet the regulatory standards 
of HMIP for small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in 
doubt check with the appropriate local authority and/

Dispose of used oil and filters through authorised 
waste disposal  contractors and licensed waste 
disposal sites, or through the waste oil  reclamation 
trade. If in doubt, contact the Local Authority for
