General Information
Metalworking fluids can be managed as used oil unless they contain chlorinated compounds. Most recyclers convert used oil into fuel for burning. If the metalworking fluids contain chlorine, they cannot be recycled as used oil. To learn more about how to manage used oil, consult The Department of Ecology's "Used Oil Facts PDF."
