About 15 years ago a water engineer commented to me that the sewage treatment plants are a lot less concerned about emulsified oil than non-emulsified (the non-emulsified oil floats and seals out the air for the aerobic bacteria). Whether or not this is current info, I don't know. Maxy is the guy to ask about that.

Eh...with current landfill technology I would expect that oil to get recovered with everything else, with the leachate or out the vents. Uniform services that supply rags launder them and return them.
