Filter Disposal
Fluid filters are full of dirty fluids when replaced. Most fluids are considered hazardous. Used filters should be disposed of according to local regulations. Filter disposal varies per state and per local municipalities. Refer to the regulations in your area in order to dispose of the filter appropriately per local regulations.Consult with your Cat dealer for availability of filter collection or take-back programs. If these programs are available, the programs may include the separation of spin-on filters into steel components, which are recycled, and into the fluid-contaminated components that can be incinerated or disposed of according to local regulations. Cartridge filters have one disposable component, which is the cartridge. The oil-filled cartridge can be disposed of according to local regulations or can be collected by the dealer for incineration or proper disposal.
