Used Motor Oil / Antifreeze Recycling Sites
Used Motor Oil
Did you know that used motor oil never wears out? It just gets dirty and can be recycled, cleaned, and used again. Recycling used motor oil conserves a natural resource (oil) and is good for the environment too! Motor oil poured onto the ground or into storm drains, or tossed into a trash can (even in a sealed container) can contaminate and pollute the soil, groundwater, streams, and rivers (and it's illegal!). Recycling your used motor oil reduces this pollution threat. When you take your used motor oil to a certified center for recycling or even the drop-off centers, you are protecting the environment and conserving a valuable resource.
That's a winning combination!
Antifreeze
Dumping waste antifreeze is illegal as it contains heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and chromium in high enough levels to make it a regulated hazardous waste! A hazardous waste may never be dumped on land or discharged into a:
- Ditch
- Dry well
- Sanitary sewer
- Septic system
- Storm drain
Cost Effective & Saves Resources
- Recycling antifreeze is cost-effective: it's less expensive than virgin antifreeze
- Recycling antifreeze saves resources: ethylene glycol is produced from natural gas, a non-renewable resource
