- Absorbent materials soaked with oil or diesel: drain liquid and dispose of in used oil recycling container; double bag absorbent material in plastic and dispose in regular trash
receptacle.
- Absorbent materials soaked with gasoline (flammable): air dry and reuse.
- Bioremediating absorbent products: dispose in regular trash as long as no liquid is dripping. Because the microbes need oxygen to function, do not seal in plastic.

- ONBOARD PRACTICES
- Maintain oil absorbent pads in bilge. Inspect no less than annually.
- Do not discharge bilge water if there is a sheen to it.
