Automotive Waste Management (AWM) is your trusted partner for professional waste oil collection services. With over 14 years of experience, we collect and responsibly dispose of millions of litres of used oil annually, helping businesses across South Africa comply with environmental regulations while protecting ecosystems and communities.

Whether you operate a garage, workshop, industrial facility, or manage a fleet of vehicles, our services make safe oil disposal simple, efficient, and fully compliant.

Why Proper Oil Disposal Matters

Used oil contains hazardous contaminants such as heavy metals (lead, arsenic, chromium) and toxins that can seriously harm the environment and public health. Improper disposal can:

  • Contaminate water sources: Just one litre of oil can pollute up to one million litres of water.

  • Damage soil: Contaminated soil becomes unsuitable for agriculture and natural ecosystems.

  • Harm wildlife and humans: Toxic chemicals in oil can accumulate in plants and animals, posing health risks.

  • Cause legal issues: In South Africa, used oil is classified as hazardous waste under the Waste Act. Businesses generating more than 20 kg of used oil per day must comply with registration and manifest requirements.

By choosing AWM, you prevent environmental harm, stay compliant with regulations, and contribute to a sustainable future.
