• Certified product will generally be destined for use in energy recovery markets. All products will be loaded and shipped via fully insured certified carriers.
• Used fuel oil specifications when burned for energy recovery:
  

  	Used Oil	Valley Environmental
  Constituent	Fuel Specifications	Service Guidelines
  Arsenic	5 ppm maximum	5 ppm maximum
  Cadmium	2 ppm maximum	2 ppm maximum
  Chromium	10 ppm maximum	10 ppm maximum
  Lead	100 ppm maximum	100 ppm maximum
  Flash Point	100 degrees F minimum	140 degrees F minimum
  Total Halogens	4000 ppm maximum*	1000 ppm maximum
  PCB’s	Not detectable	Not detectable

• The specification does not apply to mixtures of used oil and hazardous waste that continue to be regulated as hazardous waste (see 279.10(b)).
• Used oil containing more than 1000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste under the rebuttable presumption provided under 279.10(b)(1). Such used oil is subject to subpart H of part 266 of this chapter rather than this part when burned for energy unless the presumption of mixing can be successfully rebutted.
  

• Industrial coolants and oil/water ate collected and manifested and disposed through a certified treatment center. These products are processed by separating the water from the oil, and the water is treated and disposed of and the oil is recycled in accordance with EPA guidelines.
• Certain qualities of industrial oils may be a candidate for filtration, drying and be refortified successfully making them suitable for reuse. Upon analyzation of a representative sample and review of the reuse application a determination could easily be made as to the economic value of the recycling project.

Other Services

Used Anti-freeze Collection
Valley Environmental Service offers anti-freeze collection service for used anti-freeze for generators of used engine coolants. Used anti-freeze is not hazardous and classified as non-hazardous waste. Valley Environmental Service provides collection through exchange of 55 gallon drums when full of pick up can be arranged via collection trucks. A retain sample of each collection is retained for a period of three years. All product is stored in a dedicated tank and can be properly recycled by a certified treatment center and can be made into a variety of reusable products.

Used Oil Filter Recycling Program
Used oil filters can be converted from waste to reusable scrap steel which allows the generator exempted relief from disposing of the filters as hazardous wasted under 40CFR.4(B)13 and 40CFR261.6(A)3(iv).

In order to accept used filters for smelting without presenting danger to personnel or equipment, steel smelters enforce strict specifications that require processing well beyond the practical capabilities of the average automotive service center generating used oil filters. Our program is designed to meet these strict specifications.
