What are oil filters as waste?

Used oil filters contain residual oil and are therefore oil-bearing hazardous waste under EURAL 16 01 07*. They may not go in with residual waste and require a registered collector. After draining, residual oil and metal are recovered. IAM supplies the right packaging and arranges the watertight chain.
