What does Rogue Waste Recovery do with the oil after they pick it up?

Used motor oil has a wide variety of uses from powering ships at sea to generating power in plants around the world. It can also be re-refined into “new” motor oil to be used again. Once we pick up your used oil, we bring it back to our facility to filter and process it to meet the specs to send out for the best option of recycling or reuse.

Every item picked up from our customers are tracked with manifests or bill of lading.

Where are you located and what areas do you service?

We are headquartered out of Conroe, Texas but have other service locations located throughout Texas such as Corpus Christi, TX and Odessa, TX. We usually travel within a 100 mile radius from our locations but can and will travel further if needed!

Can I throw used oil filters and oil products in my regular trash can?

Texas law prohibits dumping used oil on land or into sewers or waterways. This includes the use of used oil as a dust suppressant. Texas has also banned used oil filters from being placed in or accepted for disposal in a landfill.

Unlike other industries where operators can throw away their waste products in nonregulated garbage, oil and lube shops are bound by law — and the good of the environment — to recycle used oil, no matter the cost. Rogue Waste Recovery gives owners and business the affordable and reliable option to recycle their used oil and used oil products.

Used oil should always be viewed as a potential liability and not as a commodity. Whatever the cost of recycling, the alternative liability costs of improper handling and disposal are far worse. No one wants to end up with fines, legal fees, and the costs of restitution.

Does Rogue Waste Recovery have the proper permitting to handle my waste?

Rogue Waste Recovery and Environmental Inc.is regulated by the State of Texas and the EPA. We are responsible for annual reports and permitting to track all waste and used products and to ensure that they are being handled and treated properly.
