How do you properly dispose of POL?

• A. In regular trash
• B. In a sink drain
• C. With general recyclables
• D. At an appropriate POL collection point as specified in local SOPs

Answer: (D)

Disposing of POL follows hazardous waste procedures: used petroleum, oil, and lubricants must be kept in sealed, labeled containers and taken to the designated POL collection point specified by local SOPs. This ensures safe handling, proper containment, and lawful disposal or recycling at licensed facilities. Regular trash, sink drains, or recyclables cannot safely receive POL—they pose fire and environmental risks and bypass required tracking and treatment. By using the authorized collection point, you protect people, equipment, and the environment and stay compliant with regulations. If you’re unsure where the POL collection point is, check the local SOP or ask a supervisor.
