Oil and oil filters are some of the most frequently changed parts of a vehicle. With people lining out the door daily to get their oil changed at car shops it is no wonder we must take control of the amount of hazardous waste that we dispose of. Luckily there are ways for automotive shops to reduce the amount of waste they produce by working on vehicles.

One of the best machines you could purchase for your automotive business is an oil filter crusher. These machines are made to lessen your waste load significantly by crushing the oil filters to a compact size. Many of these machine manufactures guarantee that you will save at least 75% more space by using an oil filter crusher. Another great thing about using an oil filter crusher is that the remaining oil from the oil filters is also drained during this process. This eliminates the amount of oil that can be left behind stuck in dirty filters. Once the filters are crushed they are then shipped out for recycling and all of the mandatory regulations can be met accordingly.
