Trucking Company Helps Dispose of Old Oil

Trucking Company Helps Dispose of Old Oil

Quote:
Mar. 16--JASPER, Tenn. -- Randy Hampton's trucking company in Marion County, Tenn., was one of two private Tennessee businesses to obtain state grants recently to recycle oil.
"We change oil every 15,000 miles, and they hold about 10 gallons apiece," Mr. Hampton said of his fleet of 25 tractortrailers.
Hampton Trucking LLC got the same grant about 10 years ago, said Mr. Hampton, who owns the company with his brother Wes.
The grant will double the company's capacity to dispose of used oil, he said.

The company's trucks make daily trips of up to 650 miles, so mileage and dirty oil accumulates quickly, he said.
The $9,135 grant reimburses the company's investment in a state-installed storage tank and oil heater, Mr. Hampton said. The oil heater burns cleanly and heats the company's shop while keeping waste oil from polluting groundwater, he said.

Hampton Trucking is one of nine businesses in Marion County with collection facilities, according to the Tennessee Department of Conservation's Web site. The TDEC database also lists wrecker services, auto service stations and parts stores, a couple of fire halls and the county highway department as collection points in Marion County.
