FAQs

What is automotive waste?

Automotive waste is any waste an automotive business produces during activities and daily operations. This includes soiled rags, solvents, used engine oil, coolants, dead car batteries, damaged tyres, scrap metal, cardboard packaging and general waste.

As a result, garages and automotive companies have complex waste management needs that require careful planning, storage and collection, and various disposal and recycling methods.

In our long experience servicing the automotive sector, we've found the following services may be required:

Specialised waste streams

  • Coolants
  • Oil and grease
  • Oily rags
  • Used engine oil
  • Solvents

Conventional waste streams:

  • General waste
  • Co-mingled recycling
  • Paper & cardboard
What must you know about triple interceptor traps and wash water pits?

Triple interceptor traps and wash water pits are legally required to be fitted in automotive businesses that clean or service cars. They’re designed to stop grease, oil, chemicals, dirt and light waste particles from entering our waterways.

These traps and pits need regular maintenance to ensure optimal functionality and prevent blockages, overspills and flooding.

What happens to your trap and/or wash water pits?

After your trap and/or wash water pits are serviced and all dirt, oil, and grease are removed, our staff transport the material to a licensed Liquid Treatment Plant. At the plant, wastewater is separated, treated, and safely disposed of through our licensed wastewater sewage system. Non-liquid waste is also safely treated and disposed of at licensed facilities.

 

What are hydrocarbons?

Hydrocarbons are a group of organic compounds predominantly derived from petroleum, coal, and natural gas products. More generally, this encompasses all oils, greases, fuels, and other less common materials such as solvents.

 

How should hydrocarbon waste be stored?

All hydrocarbon-contaminated waste should be appropriately stored—bins, tanks, containers, or stillages—to avoid the release of hydrocarbons into the environment. It’s also important to consider secondary containments, such as bunding (a retaining wall around storage) or spill trays, that act as a fail-safe if a primary container leaks.

 

What happens to your waste?

General waste is usually disposed of in landfills. We recommend separating recyclables from the general waste bins to minimise general waste disposal costs and environmental impacts.

Paper & cardboard, and co-mingled recyclables (usually including cans, glass and other containers), are sent to specialised resource recovery facilities where they are sorted, cleaned and processed into recovered resources to be used – in place of virgin resources – in the manufacture of new goods or packaging. 

Oily rags that contain oil will be extracted from the rags and oily water or taken to a resource recovery facility to be recycled. Clean rags will then be disposed of at the landfill.

Scrap metal is transferred to a recycling facility. The shredded metal is then used as raw material to create recycled steel.

Vehicle batteries are transported to a facility for recycling. The batteries are broken down into lead, plastic, and acid. The lead is reused to create new batteries, the plastic is recycled, and the recovered acid is used to create fertilisers.  

Sump oil: The waste sump oil is transported to a nearby facility for collection, treatment, and recovery. Contaminants like additives are removed from the waste oil during refining into base oil products.
