The Marvellous World of Manufacturing

Not many people give much thought to the fact that almost every object you touch as you go about your day had to be manufactured by someone. When you stop to consider the impact that the processing and manufacturing industry has had on the modern world, it can blow your mind. My mind was blown when my son arrived home from his new job at a local processing and manufacturing plant and told me about the industry he was now working in. Since then, I have learnt all kinds of cool things which I would love to be able to share with the rest of the world.

How To Organise A Waste Oil Collection Service

by Anthony Harvey

Whether you are in the processing and manufacturing industry or the food preparation and hospitality sector, if you create waste oil, then you need a waste oil collection service like Wren Oil. There are no exceptions. Strict government rules about the disposal and collection of waste oil mean that it is very impractical for you to try and dispose of this oil yourself, and if you get caught doing it wrong, then you can be fined a lot of money. Don't worry, because waste oil collection contractors are present throughout all major metropolitan areas across Australia and are relatively easy to engage.

Why Do You Need Waste Oil Collection?

Gone are the days where the disposal of harmful liquids was as easy as dumping it into a nearby stormwater drain; now everyone is aware of the catastrophic impact this has on the environment. Keeping your business' environmental footprint as small as possible is vital to combat the ever-present and growing threat of global warming, and because of this, state and federal laws have been implemented to ensure everyone is doing the right thing. Not only is waste oil collection and disposal better for the environment, but it is practically mandated by law. 

How Do You Organise Waste Oil Collection?

Before reaching out to a relevant local business, you should first do some research on what type of oil you have so that you are prepared with all of the details that will help your future waste oil collection contractor understand your needs as a customer. When you do go in to discuss pickup dates and how regularly you need a collection, you will be then armed with all the facts and can organise how often you need a collection, where the collection should take place and how to get in contact again if your need changes over time. After that, it is simply a matter of finding a nearby business that provides an economical service and strives to do it in as environmentally friendly a way as possible.

How Do You Prepare The Oil For Pickup?

Most waste oil collection agencies have instructions on how to package your oil when they come for collection. In general, barrels are still the most popular form of packaging for your waste oil, and often these barrels can be reused, which again reduces your impact on the environment. If you don't have enough waste oil to fill into multiple or a single barrel, then you should discuss with your waste oil collection partner how to complete the transfer.
