Automotive fluids waste

**jick.cejoco** · October 25th, 2016 06:29 AM

The common car can have up to seven fluids under the hood or under the car. Two of them get used up and leave the car in another state or form, but how about the fluids we drain and change? Are there procedures, facilities and systems in place to prevent the DIYers and shops to dispose of the waste fluids that end up in the sewers or ground? We live on the same earth and there is no substitute for her. Imagine the solution in China, air, ground and the bodies of water are at dangerous earth destroying levels.

Tinatapon lang sa kanal yan. I know some people and companies who will buy used fluids for recycling, but don't get your hopes up, they might use it for bunker fuel which will produce black smoke. Maybe meron nga government or privately owned facilities na nagre-recycle ng used fluids, pero I haven't heard of them. We just don't have the infrastructure that you seek. Even in the USA, where there are stringent laws on used oil disposal and facilities where one can dispose of it properly:

Americans who change their own motor oil throw away 180 million gallons of recoverable motor oil every year, while only 20 million gallons are recycled.

The United States generates a total of 1.3 billion gallons of waste oil each year of which 800 million gallons are recycled and 500 million are disposed of improperly.

Kung ganun sa Amerika, eh di ano naman na sa 'Pinas?

I bring all my used car fluids to a caltex service station near us.

Happy naman yung mekaniko sa service bay tuwing nagdadala ako used oil.

The least any DIY'er can do is to collect their old fluids and dispose them at the nearest gas station that has a service garage. Most, if not all of these stations follow strict policies on the proper disposal and requires them to have a recycling program for discarded fluids.

Yung caltex sa amin, may bumibili daw sa kanila. Tapos yung bayad ang pingahahatian nila ng mga gas boy....

Ewan lang kung ano pa gamit nung bumibili sa kanila nun...

most likely e recycling...centrifuge, boiling, etc. kung anuman proseso ang ginagamit sa oil recycling.

tapos maari nilang ibenta uli siguro at much lower prices as base oil na lang. or dagdag ng additives uli.

baka they do some recycling ulit to get naman let's say industrial or home oil. parang yung mga nilalagay sa sewing machines before. or parang yung mga oil-based spray lubes.

Good topic.. wish we had a recycling plant. Valvoline Usa is a huge supporter of recycling oil and are selling them too.
