Price Cost of Oil Change

[longislander]

Looks like used oil ... not sellers of oil.
F. Used oil for recycle rules apply to:
1) Generators;
2) Transporters;
3) Marketers; and
4) Burners of used oil.

G. “Do-it-yourself (DIY) used oil” means oil that is derived from households, such as used oil generated by individuals through the maintenance of their personal, non-business vehicles. DIY used oil generators (i.e., homeowners) are exempt from the requirements of the Hazardous Waste Rules. Anyone who collects DIY used oil becomes a generator of “Used Oil for Recycle” and is subject to the generator requirements in Env-Hw 807.06.

Great they charge you when you buy the oil and setup grants to help towns collect it. Then the towns like Tuftonboro turn around and charge the do it yourselfers to get rid of the oil.

I think there are some changes going on. Gas stations (remember when they were service stations?) will generally collect oil and more frequently over time, use it for heating. BUT, now others will buy it from them and either use it for heat or sell it to somebody like Wentworth Greenhouses in Rollinsford. They in turn, developed a business to re-refine the used oil and use some for heat and some gets sold for other purposes. That operation was in turn sold to Clean Harbors. I recall when it first opened, they were re-refining hundreds of 1,000's of gallons a year. The next closest similar operation was in Ohio, doing thousands of barrels a year. I expect there are more of these operations in place now--my info is several years old, from when I was in a related state oversight position.

I believe the grants are for infrastructure... not operational costs.

I had my own auto repair shop for many years and heated with used oil.
I started out accepting oil from others but that turned out to be a big mistake because DIYers tend to mix other fluids, like antifreeze, brake fluid, and other non-petroleum products, that would cause problems with the burner.

Looks like most transfer stations around the lake accept used motor oil:
