You must classify the waste your business produces before it is collected, disposed of or recovered.

You must do this to identify:

• if the waste is hazardous or not
• which controls apply to the movement of the waste - this is to prevent harm to people and the environment

Vehicle fluids and other oils

You must not mix any of the following fluids:

• mineral oils
• cooking oils
• halogenated oils
• brake fluids
• anti-freeze
• washer fluids
• oily waters
