off the premises to sell the oil in "resealable or
recoverable" containers, and to maintain signs informing
the public of how and where used oil may be properly

disposal of more than 55 gallons of used oil annually
other than by recycling or in accordance with the
Hazardous Substance Act (§ 8—1413.2 of the Natural
Resources Article) , provides for an annual report to the
General Assembly, and sets forth conditions under which
