Oil waste permit for storing used oil in Ontario?

[Rory Lodge]

Hello,
I’m having problems narrowing down if we need a permit for used oil, from maintenance on compressor pumps, and how to obtain one if we do.  We have a 208L barrel, in an enclosed(with a sliding down door) anti-spill container. I was hoping if someone can help me out with information about this.  Do we need an oil permit for used oil, and where can I obtain one if we do?

If you do need a permit, you’ll need to get it from the Ontario Ministry of Environment based on the kind of operation you perform, type of used oil waste generated and other factors. Because these are highly technical regulations far beyond my expertise, the best thing I can do is point you to the horse’s mouth, i.e., the MOE guidelines. https://files.ontario.ca/generators_of_liquid_industrial_and_hazardous_waste_-_english.pdf  If this doesn’t help, contact me at glennd@bongarde.com and I’ll try again.
