Used & Waste Oil Signs

Labeling waste oil prevents it from being accidentally mixed with other hazardous wastes (like antifreeze or solvents), which can contaminate the oil and make disposal extremely expensive. It also prevents it from being used as new oil, which could lead to equipment failure.

A proper Waste oil label will clearly state "waste oil" or "used oil" and often includes a flammable warning, as well as space to write the accumulation start date. For specific purposes, you can use our custom safety labels.

Yes, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has strict regulations for the storage and labeling of used oil. Clearly labeling all containers is a fundamental part of these Used Oil Management Standards (40 CFR 279).

Waste Oil signs are used in auto repair shops, maintenance facilities, and any industrial site that generates used oil. They are placed on the large collection tanks and on the walls of the storage area, often near hazardous storage area signs.
