Automotive fluids waste

[jick.cejoco]

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.

ganyan din ginagawa ko....last year pa huli kong dispose sa kanila....

iniipon ko kasi sa isang malaking container ko para isang lakaran na lang.

regarding sa kung ano ginagawa nila dun sa binibigay ko na used oils e hindi ko na alam.

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.

nung mahilig pa ako magpa-home service ayos ng mga kotse, iyong used lubricants na pinapalitan dinadala ko sa customer's cradle sa las pinas. tinatanggap nila kasi binibenta naman nila iyan

pero lately hindi na ko home service kung change oil lang naman kasi hindi maiwasan na may tumalsik na langis sa tiles ng garahe at mag leave ng stain. kaya ngayon sa shop na ko parati pag ganun lang naman ang job order

when we still had our construction business my father use old oil to place in wood that will be used to form the concrete beams/walls... para hindi dumikit ang cement dun sa wood... but i doubt that it will take all of the 4L usually drained from a sedan...

i think some people do that, as a sort of anti-termite treatment.

Pati mga ilaw like CFL lights, flourescent, batteries wala tamang disposal. Sama na lang sa basura tapos pick up garbage collector.

Hell ya! The Philippines is getting more polluted one day at a time. Now nobody wants to drink from the tap. Everybody tries to live healthy, eat healthy but how about the air quality you breathe, how about the fish you harvest from polluted rivers and oceans? How about the produce that absorbed the pollution from the polluted it grew on? Let's all do our part and not poit fingers

So true. Gotta change the 3 water filters again soon. The things we do to unharm the family. Never enough 😥
