Waste Management Procedures

Oily Rags, Used

Before you begin
Description
/ Oily rags or absorbent pads used to clean up:
  • Aviation Fuel (Turbine Engine)
  • Crankcase Oil
  • Crude Oil
  • Diesel Fuel
  • Hydraulic Fluid
  • Varsol
  • Other non-hazardous petroleum distillates

Category
/ Non-Hazardous Waste
Analysis
/ Oily Rags soaked:
  • No laboratory analysis required
  • Identification by ingredients on label and Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS)

Accumulation
/
  • Place in closed container. Keep drum closed unless materials are being added or removed.
  • Add enough absorbent at the time of packing to soak up any free liquid.

Waste Reduction
/ Very few waste reduction options exist. When possible:
  • Use absorbents that can be wrung out and reused. This reduces the volume of waste pads.
  • Return liquid to the crude oil stream if it is any of the following petroleum distillates:
  • Aviation Fuel (Turbine Engine)
  • Crankcase oil
  • Crude oil
  • Diesel Fuel
  • Hydraulic Fluid
  • Varsol
  • Other non-hazardous petroleum distillates
  • Do not return halogenated solvents (such as 1,1,1 trichloroethane) to the crude oil stream. Look for halogens by the “chloro” , “fluoro”, or “bromo” in the name on the MSDS.
