Unfortunately, I don't have a reference for this, but I'll potentially have a citation in hand in a few weeks...
We had an EPA inspection at work a few weeks ago, and among other things the inspector told us that we were not permitted to mark containers containing used oil as "Waste Oil." The containers must me marked "Used Oil."
At my work, this was in regard to vacuum pump oil, but per the inspector it's generally applicable to any kind of oil including motor oil. Apparently he also "got" the physical plant vehicle maintenance shop on this.
For those of you who deal with things at home, mark your containers however you want. This is mostly a heads up to commercial shops.
Of course, that's just one inspector and he was fishing for violations. Also, I should add that this isn't legal advice but just a "heads up" on something that bit me a few weeks ago.
