Description of Action:
Premier Compaction Systems reclaims all Hydraulic Oil used by our maintenance program clients. All machines utilize hydraulic oil for lubrication. Since this substance is being used at such a high quantity we decided to incorporate it into a more sustainable practice in our own day to day operations. The hydraulic oil is returned to the PCS Shop and used for heating. The recycled oil burner utilizes approximately 3,000 gallons of hydraulic oil each year; this oil is obtained by a removal process during our preventative maintenance program for all PCS clients. In 2016, we avoided 2,685 gallons of oil waste.
