Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between waste oil and used oil?

Waste oil and used oil are often used interchangeably to describe oil that can no longer be used for its original purpose. Here are the main distinctions:

  • Used oil: Oil that has been used and now contains chemical or physical contaminants, like engine oil from vehicles after use.
  • Waste oil: Oil that hasn’t been used but can’t fulfill its intended purpose due to contaminants, like water or chemicals that have entered the oil.
Can you get paid for waste oil?

Yes, you can sometimes get paid for specific types of oil waste, such as used cooking oil, vegetable oil, or grease. To do so, you need to ensure safe and legal storage and removal to a certified facility, where they can convert cooking oil into biofuel. The payment amount depends on the type and quantity of oil you have. However, you generally cannot get paid for hazardous waste oil like engine or lubricant oil; authorised collectors should handle their removal.

What can waste oil be used for?

Depending on its type and after undergoing processes like dewatering, filtration, and distillation, waste oil can be used for various purposes, including:

  • Reuse in motorized equipment
  • Conversion into hydraulic oil
  • Utilization in plastic manufacturing
  • Transformation into biofuel
  • Mixing with new fuel oil for boiler use
Are waste oil burners legal?

In the UK, using a waste oil burner is legal, but your business must obtain a permit, as outlined in Schedule 13A of the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2010. Acquiring this permit involves an application process and an annual fee. Depending on your specific use case, it might be more cost-effective to arrange for waste oil removal instead.
