Cradle-to-Grave Liability
Cradle-to-Grave Liability for Used Oil Disposal
The liability for the proper disposal of used oil extends from the moment the oil drains into a pan until it’s processed or burned. This includes any accidental spills or intentional dumping by a used oil hauler. Businesses that generate used oil and currently pay to have it hauled away can end that liability with a waste oil heater.

Used-Oil Recycling Success
For used-oil recycling, the success is in the numbers
UOMA’s goal is to continue to drive advancements in used-oil heating technology and advocate for the on-site recycling of waste oil to increase used-oil heating adoption, prevent ground and water pollution, and give profits back to businesses by helping them save money on energy costs.
