or disposed of as otherwise authorized or permitted by the commissioner.

The provisions of this section shall not apply to the use of used oil
for maintenance or lubrication of agricultural equipment.

2. No person shall sell or offer for sale a used oil disposal kit or
product which is comprised of absorbent material into which the
lubricating oil from a vehicle is drained when performing an oil change
and which is intended for disposal into the solid waste stream rather
than for reuse or recycling.
