T
he purpose of oil, fuel, and transmission filters is to capture impurities from fluid being filtered. These impurities are often toxic metals, so used filters often contain very high concentrations of these metals and may be dangerous to both humans and the environment.RE

Keep drained used oil filters in dedicated aboveground containers that do not leak. Clearly label used oil filter storage containers with the words "Used Oil Filters."
If the storage containers hold both used oil filters and fuel filters, label containers with
the words “Used Oil and Fuel Filters.” Label containers that just hold used fuel filters
withthe words “Used Fuel Filters.”
Keep the containers on concrete or another surface that oil cannot pass through. Keep the containers closed or otherwise protected from weather.

Documentantationtion
You must be able to demonstrate your used oil and used fuel filters have been properly handled for at least the past three years. Receipts from a used oil filter transporter would be sufficient.
Di Disposalsposal
If you transport your own used oil filters and used fuel filters, you must register with FDEP as a used oil filter transporter. Call the FDEP Hazardous Waste Regulation Section at (850) 245-8707 to learn how to register as a used oil filter transporter.
Glass filters may be hazardous waste and will need to be managed as such unless lab testing shows they are not hazardous.
It is illegal to put used oil filters or used fuel filters in trash that will be taken to a landfill. You are permitted to place your used oil filters and used fuel filters in the trash ONLY if your
trash goes to a waste-to-energy plant (municipal incinerator); AND if you receive permission in writing from your waste hauler.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES -
NOT REQUIRED BUT RECOMMENDEDHandling
Puncture and drain your used oil filters for 24 hours before you store them.
Put oil drained from filters into your used oil storage container. (See Section 5.2 Used Oil for requirements on handling, storing and disposing of used oil.)
Metal fuel filters can be managed with used oil filters once they have been drained dry. Hot drain used oil filters prior to storage.
Drain and collect all fluids into a container on a covered, curbed and sealed concrete area away from any drains.
Before crushing your used oil filters, ask your transporter if they will accept them crushed. Storage
Check all storage containers on a weekly basis.

Spill Control
Maintain spill control material and equipment near stored fluids.
Do not use detergent and water to clean up spills. Use an oil absorbing mop or an absorbent material instead.
Disposal
If you are recycling your used oil filters, use a used oil filter transporter and processor that is registered and approved by the state. Call the FDEP Hazardous Waste Regulation Section (850) 245-8707 for a list of approved used oil/used oil filter transporters and processors.
