The Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control (DWMRC) is committed to protecting public health and the environment by ensuring that human exposures to radiation are kept to levels that are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). The goal of radiation protection is to prevent or minimize exposures that provide no benefit.

Many consumer items contain radiation, either as a function of their operation or as a naturally occurring material that’s included as part of the product.

Used oil may be processed for energy recovery, by removing water and particulates so that it can be used as fuel to generate heat or to power industrial operations. This form of recycling of used oil is not as preferable a method as re-refining, because it only enables the oil to be reused once. Nonetheless, valuable energy is provided (about

Re-refiners and processors are facilities that blend or remove impurities from used oil so that it can be burned for energy recovery or reused. Included in this category are re-refiners who process used oil so that it can be reused in a new product such as a lubricant. The most common method of recycling is reprocessing. Industrial techniques such as
