| Can a used oil burner
save my community money?
Yes! Depending on your situation
and the way used oil is handled in your community, you
could get payback on a used oil burner within 2 years of
purchase! Recycling your used oil for heat can save your
community money in several ways: 
 |
You will need less new fuel for
heating purposes, |
|
Disposal costs will be reduced
or avoided, |
|
And cleanup and liability costs
for improper disposal will be reduced or avoided. |
It can cost an average of $5-10 per gallon to ship out oil. If your community produces and ships out 200 gallons of oil per year, you could save $1,000-$2,000 if you recycle your used oil instead.
Does my community produce enough oil to run a used
oil burner?
If your community generates 500-1000 gallons of oil/year
or more, it will be worthwhile for you to purchase a used
oil burner.
