DISPOSAL OF UNWANTED MATERIALS One of the most damaging sources of environmental pollution is oil products. Never throw away used oil with domestic refuse or flush it down a sink or drain. Collect any oil in a leak proof container and take it to your local waste disposal site. Should hydraulic components become completely unserviceable and require disposal, draw off the oil into an approved container and dispose of the product and the oil according to local regulations.
