§ 23-19.6-2. Legislative findings.
The legislature finds that over two million gallons (2,000,000 gals.) of used oil
            are generated each year in the state, less than half of which is presently reclaimed;
            that used oil is an increasingly valuable and scarce resource that can and should
            be recycled; and that legislation is needed to prevent the wasteful disposal of oil
            which causes economic loss and, when improperly disposed of, pollution of air, land,
            and water which endangers the public health and welfare.
