TDK Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Bruce, I have a feeling that the locks were not there to prevent theft of the recycled oil. Our facility recycles oil as well and the problem is if someone inadvertantly (or on purpose...), pours something in - that is not used oil. Then, depending on the material (and it does not take much of a relatively harmless fluid by itself) the entire recycled oil container can become hazardous waste instead, (now to be disposed [typically incinerated] at a huge cost)!

Bruce Nunnally Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 That makes sense. Once the fence is unlocked and the repository is unlocked, it is not really supervised. So locking or unlocking does not keep someone from pouring in the wrong liquid, but perhaps at least gives pause. Not sure what they could really do to prevent that, other than only allow you to turn in oil to an attendant for adding to the bin or similar.
