GUIDE TO WASTE OIL AND WASTE OIL FILTER MANAGEMENT

IN THE TENNESSEE VALLEY

I N T R O D U C T I O N

Basically, waste oil and waste oil filters qenerally containbenzene (D0-18) and sometimes lead (D008) and cadmium (D006).This makes them hazardous wastes unless they are recycled or itis proven and documented that they do not contain thesecontaminates above the regulatory threshold.

Most generators recycle both their waste oil and their waste oilfilters. This is the most environmentally sound managementmethod and is preferred by most state, regulatory agencies.However in the absence of specific guidelines, conditionallyexempt generators or non-generators of hazardous waste maydispose of waste oil filters (preferably after draining them) intheir ordinary solid waste stream if their landfill operator willaccept them. See below to determine if specific guidelines applyto your installation-.

SPECIFIC STATE REQUIREMENTS

The regulations concerning handling of waste oil and waste oilfilters have been the source of a lot of misunderstanding andconcern. The EPA is expected to issue additional "guidance" inthe near future to help resolve this issue. In the meantime, theindividual states have tried to provide their interpretation totheir generators. These are summarized below.

ALABAMA - No special guidelines. See EPA Guidelines inAttachment B.

GEORGIA - No special guidelines. See EPA Guidelines inAttachment B.

4,.Generally, automotive oil filters. are not considered to becontainers because they are designed to filter particulates from oilthat circulates through them, not devices for the storage of oil. Asa result, a filter could not be an "empty container" under 40 CFR261.7. However, as described next, a drained or crushed fi1ter isconsidered scrap metal, and scrap-metal is exempt from regulationwhen recycled.

Under the definition of "solid waste," EPA has determined that"recycled hazardous scrap metal is a solid waste when disposed of orrecycled" (see 50 FR 624, January 4, 1985). However, pursuant tosection 261.6(a)(3)(iv), hazardous scrap metal is exempted fromSubtitle C regulation when recycled. The scrap metal recyclingexemption in 40 CFR 261.6(a)(3)(iv) is applicable to used oil. filters(scrap metal) that are-going to be recycled. However, an undrainedor uncrushed oil filter would contain too much oil to qualify for thescrap metal exemption.. The January 4, 1985 preamble provided,examples of items qualifying for the exemption, such as bars,turnings, rods, sheets, wire (i.e., scrap metal that is going to berecycled to recover their metal content) and examples that do notqualify, including metal-containing waste with a significant liquidcomponent, such as spent batteries.

To increase the probability that the used oil filter (hazardousscrap metal) will qualify for the scrap metal recycling exemption,the generator or recycling facility should drain (gravity) the filterfor an amount of time sufficient to ensure that all free-flowing oilis removed. The amount of drain time will vary based on a number ofvariables, including the, size of the filter and temperature (bothambient and that of the filter). Alternately, the generator orrecycling facility could crush the oil filter using the mostappropriate crushing method that will force excess residual oil fromthe filter. We will be examining this issue further, but wecurrently have no information indicating that substantial amounts ofoil will remain. in the filter after either sufficient draining oradequate crushing. As a best operating-practice, the Agencyrecommends that the generator or recycling facility both drain andcrush used oil filters to be certainthat the used oil filters wouldqualify for the hazardous scrap metal recycling exemption.

If the crushed or drained filter will be recycled, it isunnecessary to determine whether it exhibits the TC because the scrapmetal exemption is applicable. It would also be unnecessary tomanifest these used oil filters if they will be recycled. However,if the filter will be disposed of, the generator must determine if itis hazardous under the TC. If the filter is hazardous waste, thePart 262 and 268 regulations apply to the generator, and Parts 264and 265 apply to the treatment, storage and disposal facilities.Non-hazardous waste filters may be disposed in a Subtitle D facility.

Finally, in the sales brochures you sent, there was mention ofan open container used to accumulate the used oil after the filterwas crushed. (Currently, used oil accumulation by generators is notregulated if the used oil is recycled,containers be kept closed.

but EPA did propose that suchSee 5.0 FR 49252, November 29, 1985.)

Storage or accumulation of characteristically hazardous used oil isregulated if the used oil is to be disposed of; in that case, thecontainers must be closed except when adding or removing the-used oil(per §265.173(a)).

Please contact Daryl Moore at (202) 475-8551 if you have anyadditional questions on the applicability of the Federal hazardouswaste regulations with respect. to used oil filters.

GUIDANCE FOR MANAGINGUSED OIL FILTERS

Manaqement Overview:

The issue of used oil filters is addressed under severaldifferent regulations. Because used oil filters typically containconcentrations of heavy metals and organic components such asbenzene, there are no simple answers.

Generators can recycle their used oil filters. Generators whorecycle both the used oil removed from the filter and the filtercasing, as scrap metal, are exempt from. the hazardous wasteregulations and do NOT need to test 'their filters using the TCLP todetermine whether they are hazardous.

Generators can dispose of their oil-filters in an approvedlandfill after making a proper waste. characterization anddetermination. There are -two options available for making ahazardous waste determination. In the first option,. you may useyour knowledge. of the waste oil filters to determine whichhazardous characteristics would be expected. In the second option,you may conduct TCLP tests on used oil filters as the generator orrely on results obtained by others if they are representative ofyour wastes. Although the TCLP defines whether a waste ishazardous for toxicity, it is possible to use a total metals testfor the constituents of Arsenic, Barium, Cadmium, Chromium, Lead,Mercury, Selenium, and Silver.. If a total metals analysis revealsthat the total level of a particular metal is below TCLP limits,the waste could not exhibit the TCLP characteristic for that metal.The TCLP must be used for the organic compounds.

Because of the expense involved in performing the TCLP,persons generating similar waste streams may work together whencharacterizing their waste. Each individual generator may then usethe data gathered along with knowledge of their specific materialand processes to determine if theirhazardous characteristic.

hazardous waste, they mustwaste. If the filters arethey may be disposed of in

approved landfills, provided. all free-flowing oil is removed by crushing, splitting, or processed by other means to remove free oilfrom the filter. Further a copy of the TCLP analysis must beprovided to the landfill. Disposal of processed, non-hazardousused oil filters also remains subject to any requirements, rules,ordinances or approvals imposed by local regulatoryagencies, localgovernments or landfill operators.

Recommended Procedures:

The following outlines two options for managing used oilfilters.

Recycling - Option 1

Recycling is the preferred alternative to disposal:

l Used oil filters are not required to be regulated as ahazardous waste if they are recycled. No permit will berequired for either the collection or transportation ofthese filters if they are destined for recycling.

l The used motor oil collected during processing (crushingand draining) of the used oil filters is not required tobe regulated as a, hazardous waste if it is properlymanaged and' transferred to a recycling facility.

Disposal - Option 2

Used oil filters may be disposed-in contained landfills ifeach of these conditions are met:

l The landfill agrees to accept used oil filters from thegenerator.

l The residual used oil and filter passes TCLP testing.The exception would be if the generator is a "limitedquantity hazardous waste generator" (LQG). An LQGgenerates less than 100 kg or 220 pounds per month oftotal hazardous waste.

l The used oil has been removed from the filter bycrushing, splitting, or other mechanical process toremove free liquid oils. (The filters should be allowedto drain after processing until all free oil is removed.)

l The processed filters pass the paint filter test.

NORTH CAROLINA GUIDELINES

The Toxicity Characteristic (TC)regulations have left manypeople wondering if used oil fil-ters are now a hazardous waste.The possibility exists that theseoil filters could exhibit this char-acteristic and thus be a hazard-ous waste.

All, petroleum wastes containbenzene. If 0.5 ppm or more ofbenzene leaches out in a TCLP,then the filter is a hazardouswaste (see related article en-titled, "TC/TCLP").

According to limited lab results,used oil filters which have beendrained for 24 hours pass theTCLP. Some of these filters haveto be punctured so they willdrain. For this reason, we are notcurrently requiring all gener-ators to perform the TCLP on oilfilters which have been drainedfor 24 hours. Businesses whichgenerate a large number of oilfilters are asked to crush theirfilters to remove as much oil aspossible before sending them toa sanitary landfill.

The preferred method would berecycling. At the present time,

we do not know of any scrapmetal recyclers accept ingcrushed/drained oil filters. Ifyou know of any recyclers ac-cepting used filter please call thePollution Prevention Program at(919)571-4100.

REGULATORY INTERPRETATIVE MEMORANDUM HW-91-1-

December 9, 1991

DSWM staff and other interested persons

Subject: Used oil filter recycling and disposal

Numerous questions have arisen concerning the disposal ofused oil filters now that Tennessee has adopted the ToxicityCharacteristics regulations. Outlined below are the optionswhich generators may exercise in disposing of their used oilfilters in Tennessee.

OPTION 1. RECYCLE THE OIL AND THE METAL FROM THE FILTERSUsed oil filters are exempted from regulation as a

hazardous waste-if both the metal from the filters and theused oil from the filters are recycled. To qualify. for thescrap metal recycling exemption, free flowing oil must beremoved from the filters through draining and crushing ordisassembly of the filter prior to shipping to a metalrecycler. Under the used oil. recycling exemption, thephysical processing of the filters (draining, crushingand/or transporting) is not subject to regulation under thehazardous waste regulations and may be conducted by thegenerator or by another party at a different location. Ifthe filter is disassembled, the remaining material is beinggranted a statewide special waste approval if the filter.element is mechanically compressed to remove all freeflowing 'oil and the oil is collected for recycling. Thegenerator then certifies that the filter elementand 'gasketsare nonhazardous and all free -flowing oil has been removed.This certification is being accepted without TCLP testingbased on published studies which have indicated that filtersprocessed in this manner consistently pass the TCLP test.

OPTION 2. DRAIN AND CRUSH THE FILTERS, RECYCLE THE OIL, ANDDISPOSE OF THE FILTERS AS A SPECIAL WASTE

A statewide 'special waste approval is being granted forall-used oil filters which are certified' as nonhazardous andwhich have been properly drained and crushed, eliminating

D&M staff and other interested personsDecember 9, 1991Page 2

all free flowing oil. This certification is being acceptedwithout TCLP testing based on published studies which havefound that filters processed in this manner consistentlypass the TCLP test. The crushing removes approximately 88%of the oil from the filter, with only about one ounce of oilremaining in the fiber filter element. This eliminates theleakage of oil from the filter- after it has been placed in alandfill. The oil removed during draining and crushing mustbe collected and properly recycled. Under the used oilrecycling exemption, the physical processing of the filters(draining, crushing and/or transporting)-is not subject toregulation under the hazardous waste regulations and may beconducted by the generator or by another party at adifferent location.

OPTION 3. DISPOSE OF THE FILTERS AS A HAZARDOUS WASTE.If a generator chooses not to recycle or crush his

filters, then the filters are handled as a hazardous waste.Special waste approval will not be granted for undrained anduncrushed filters. Any oil which drains from the filtersmust be disposed of as a hazardous waste if it is notr e c y c l e d .

(TAKEN FROM MnTAPP PROGRAM)

Management options formotor vehicle oil filters

F A C T S H E E T

Over three million Minnesota cars, trucks and buses undergo routine oil changes. As partof this maintenance process, a significant amount of used oil goes to Minnesota landfillsinside used oil filters -- 275,000 gallons per year according to MnTAP estimates* based onstudies conducted by MnTAP and the Iowa Waste Reduction Center.**

Oil filters are typically disposed of as solid waste by automotive service stations and “do-it-yourselfers.” Draining and crushing of used oil filters will reduce the amount of used oil going into Minnesota landfills, and reduce. the negative effect that used oil has on theenvironment.

Recycl ing oi l f i l ters

The EPA requires that before any filters can be disposed of as non-hazardous waste theymust be tested under the toxicity characteristic -leaching procedure TCLP). The EPA hasdetermined that oil filters, and the used oil ‘they contain, are exempt from hazardouswaste regulations only if they are recycled. Filters may be drained on-site and shipped forcrushing and recycling, or crushed on-site and shipped for recycling. Any crushed oruncrushed filters that are not recycled must-be tested using the TCLP to determine ifthey are hazardous waste. In most cases the filters will fail the TCLP and be classified ashazardous.

Draining oil filters to remove used oil

Effective oil filter draining depends on two factors: 1) draining time, and 2) the angle atwhich filters are drained. Sufficient time should be allowed for the oil to drain if filtersare removed from cold engines. Overnight draining is recommended

Also, filters in an upright position can develop an air lock which keeps the oil fromdraining. Filters that are tipped while draining do not develop an air lock and will drainmore completely. Filter drain racks should be constructed so that filters are tipped at anangle .

However, the MnTAP and Iowa studies both found that filters removed from a vehicle lostonly about 40% of their oil when drained. Crushing provides better results.

* The Iowa Waste Reduction Center estimated that 225,000 gallon of waste oil was disposed of in used filters inIowa landfills each year. By adjusting for the difference in vehicle fleet size between Minnesota and Iowa,MnTAP estimated that 275,000 gallons of waste oil is disposed of in Minnesota annually inside used oil filters.

(continued)

Crushing oil filters-an -- alternative to draining

A recent development, oil filter crushing, is designed to recover as much used oil aspossible from used filters. The crusher uses pneumatic or-hydraulic pressure to compactthe filter forcing the used oil out of the filter for collection and recycling. Keep in mindthat crushed filters must be recycled or evaluated for hazardous waste characteristicsbefore disposal.

MnTAP study results on oil filter crushing

In a study conducted at a Twin Cities oil-change facility, MnTAP found a filter crusherremoved between 83% and 100% of the oil from the 16 used filters tested A maintenanceshop that changes 50 automotive filters per day could recover an additional 5 gallons perday of used oil that otherwise would be disposed of with the filters. Reduction in filtersize and weight were additional advantages. of crushing.

The information below summarizes the results of the study,
