7.2
Oils and lubricants
Only specialist companies are authorised to dispose of old oils.
Old oils and contaminated oils must be stored and disposed of in sealed, oil-resistant containers
(metal drums).
Defective electrical appliances and machines that cannot be repaired must be opened and
cleaned to remove the remaining oil.
Oil troughs must be cleaned so that there are no traces of oil. No oils (even very small amounts)
may be allowed to enter the ground.
7.3
Waste from maintenance work
Regulations issued by the responsible national and regional authorities for disposing of refuse
must be observed. These are available from the local environmental authority.
If in doubt, waste from maintenance work such as cleaning and rinsing agents, cloths etc. must
be disposed of as special category waste by communal collecting points.
Waste that can be recycled must be separated on the basis of material groups and sent for suit-
able recycling!
