TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Philip Batchelor, County Administrator
DATE: September 25, 1984
SUBJECT: Disposal of Waste Motor Oil
Specific Requests or Recommendations & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Public Works Director to permit County employees to dump their used motor
oil into the County waste oil tank and to encourage County employees to take advantage
of this service.
BACKGROUND
Roy Snelson, Assistant Fleet Manager, Public Works Department, submitted an employee suggestion
to allow County employees to dump their waste oil into the County waste oil tank. Currently,
the County recycles its waste oil, selling it to a private vendor for $.376 per gallon. The
vendor collects the oil .
Used motor oil is a Class II waste and thus considered a hazardous material . Yet many
people may be putting this oil in the regular garbage because it is difficult to dispose
of small quantities.
The potential revenue to the County from this suggestion would vary according to the number
of employees who recycle their oil each year. If 100 employees recycled one gallon of
oil each year, the County would receive $37.60 in revenue; whereas if 1,000 employees
recycled their oil , the County would receive $376.00 per year.
This agenda item is being submitted in conjunction with the nomination for award for a
certificate of commendation to Roy Snelson for his suggestion.
