Used oil generator

The word "generator" sounds like a chemical plant. Under 40 CFR part 279 it is any business that produces used oil, and subpart C is the standard for the shop's drum and tank.

Section 279.22 has four parts. Storage only in tanks or containers regulated under parts 264 or 265 (a). Containers and aboveground tanks "in good condition", with no severe rusting, structural defects or deterioration, and "no visible leaks" (b). Labels. The federal rule asks for the exact words Used Oil on the container, the aboveground tank and the fill pipe into an underground tank, so a drum labelled Waste Oil has the wrong two words on it. That is paragraph (c). And on a release: "Stop the release", contain it, clean up and properly manage the released oil and other materials, and if necessary repair or replace the leaking tank or container before returning it to service (d). The section's opening sentences add that a generator subject to the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures rules in part 112 must meet them, and that used oil in an underground tank is subject to part 280.

The filters have their own exclusion: a non-terne-plated used oil filter that has been gravity hot-drained by puncturing and draining, draining and crushing, dismantling and draining, or an equivalent method is not hazardous waste (40 CFR § 261.4(b)(13)).

None of it is a software feature. What a shop's system can keep beside it is the record of pick-ups, so the shop's count agrees with the hauler's. The post on used oil at a quick lube has the duties in a table, and the quick lube page the rest of the lane.
