Garages handle a wide range of oils, including engine and motor oils, as well as lubricants for doors and various vehicle components. Occasionally, these oils become contaminated or are drained from vehicles, rendering them unusable. Such oils must be stored in a sealed and leak-proof container, like a waste oil drum, and placed in a secure location.

Garages with registered licensed waste carriers have the option to either transport these oils to a recycling facility themselves or set up a collection service for garage waste oil.
