The Waste Oil Industry:
There are approximately 1.35 Billion gallons of used oil (toxic waste) generated each year in the United States. Because of the obstacles to proper disposal, used oil is often placed in sewers, landfills, vacant lots, or streams where it causes environmental damage (One gallon of used oil will create an eight-acre oil slick). Only 800 million gallons of the used oil is collected by recyclers for reuse, leaving approximately 550 million gallons to destroy the environment. The demand for cleaner and more efficient ways to recycle oil is rapidly increasing.
