42 U.S.C. § 6901a — Congressional findings: used oil recycling

The Congress finds and declares that— (1) used oil is a valuable source of increasingly scarce energy and materials; (2) technology exists to re-refine, reprocess, reclaim, and otherwise recycle used oil ; (3) used oil constitutes a threat to public health and the environment when reused or disposed of improperly; and that, therefore, it is in the national interest to recycle used oil in a manner which does not constitute a threat to public health and the environment and which conserves energy and materials. ( Pub. L. 96–463, § 2 , Oct. 15, 1980 , 94 Stat. 2055 .) Editorial Notes Codification Section was enacted as part of the Used Oil Re­cycling Act of 1980, and not as part of the Solid Waste Disposal Act which comprises this chapter.
