Avoid mixing unlike types of waste. Do no mix waste paint timer in a waste oil drum. The Navy sells uncontaminated waste oil for a profit. If only minor amounts of any other substance are present in the waste oil, the Navy must pay high prices for analysis and disposal. The best method for disposal is properly labeling the materials and returning them, unmixed to the supply department. Each container must be clearly labeled, preferably with the BM line item or other supply tracking documentation. It is always best to check with the battalion MLO staff or safety office for proper disposal procedures.
