Used antifreeze and emulsion waste may contain glycol, oils, metals, chemicals, and other contaminants that require proper handling. Hazleton Oil & Environmental, Inc. offers dependable collection, transportation, recycling, and disposal services to help businesses manage these materials safely and responsibly.
WHAT IS USED ANTIFREEZE AND EMULSION WASTE?
Used antifreeze is coolant that has been removed from vehicles, equipment, machinery, or cooling systems during maintenance or repair. Although it may no longer perform properly, much of the material can potentially be processed and recycled rather than discarded.
Emulsion waste generally consists of water mixed with oil, coolant, lubricants, or other materials. These waste streams are commonly generated by machining, metalworking, equipment maintenance, manufacturing, and industrial cleaning operations.
Hazleton Oil & Environmental, Inc. provides compliant collection and transportation solutions for approved antifreeze and emulsion waste streams, helping businesses reduce environmental risk and maintain organized waste-management practices.
WHAT WE COLLECT
Spent coolant from cars, trucks, buses, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, and commercial fleets.
Used coolant from diesel engines, heavy equipment, generators, fleet vehicles, and industrial machinery.
Coolant removed from manufacturing equipment, production systems, cooling systems, and industrial processes.
Oil-and-water mixtures, machining emulsions, spent coolants, and other approved water-based industrial waste streams.
Approved red, green and universal antifreeze mixtures generated during vehicle or equipment maintenance.
Drums, totes, tanks, and other approved containers used for the safe storage and transportation of antifreeze and emulsion waste.
DID YOU KNOW?
Antifreeze should never be poured onto the ground, into a storm drain, or into a septic or sanitary system without authorization.
Used antifreeze may contain glycol, metals, oils, and other contaminants collected while circulating through an engine or mechanical system. Proper collection helps prevent these materials from entering soil, groundwater, and waterways.
When suitable for recycling, used antifreeze can be processed to remove contaminants and returned to useful service, reducing waste and conserving resources.
