Re: Burning recovered motor oil for fuel vs recycling it
2008-11-06 12:07:48 UTC
The difference between burning used oil and recycling it is that it once it's burned can no longer be part of the value chain of the petroleum product.. In the hierarchy of management of resources, reuse and recycling are preferable alternatives to energy recovery. Oil can actually be recycled many times over, and there are a number of viable recycling companies that will take your used oil and pay you for it. Safety Kleen is one such company that I am familiar with and there are probably others in your state as well. They will pick up and recycle the oil, and it is a product that you can purchase now at various automotive suppliers - it's called Eco-Power. http://www.safety-kleen.com/products/OilProducts/Pages/EcoPower.aspx. Here is some contact information. http://www.cicil.net/detail/Safety_detail.html
If you still are considering burning the oil for energy recovery, I would contact your state agency for permitting requirements on using used oil. Below are a couple of links I found to your state's EPA.

Seeking Sample RFP for Composting Municipal Services
2008-02-04 11:26:23 UTC
Hi,
I'm seeking a sample RFP where a municipality has contracted out with a private entity to operate the municipality's existing yard debris composting operation. The goal is to increase through-put of existing feedstock, the municipality is currently only composting about 25% of yard debris generated w/in its service area.
Thanks,
Chantal
