A checklist for workshops and fleets to verify CPCB or SPCB authorisation before selling used engine oil.
Documents to collect
Authorisation under hazardous waste rules, GST, plant address, and whether they appear on the used-oil recycler list used for EPR credits.
Red flags
Cash only, no weighment, mixing your oil with unknown drums on the same tanker, refusal to name the plant.
Why EPR made this sharper
From April 2024, producers need valid recycling credits. Unauthorised offtake cannot support that system. Generators who sell cheap to the wrong tanker create downstream fraud risk.
