What happens to your oil?<\/h4>\n

We transport, process, and market your used oil. To ensure quality, we pre-approve all incoming product by field testing for halogens and analyzing the data. Then it is filtered and pumped into our tanker truck and transported to our facility in Tucson. To recycle your oil, it undergoes a sequence of processing steps; including segregation, filtration, and blending to manufacture on-specification used oil fuel. We track all oil and provide complete documentation.<\/p>\n
