Take the last step! Recycle your USED MOTOR OIL and OIL FILTERS!
• Dumping used oil (or any chemical) is a crime – legally and environmentally
• Dumped oil contaminates ground water – our drinking water source
• Used oil is insoluble and can contain toxic chemicals
• Used oil kills plant and aquatic life
• One pint of used oil can create an acre-sized oil slick on surface waters

Remember when recycling oil to…
• Drain your oil from cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, recreational vehicles, lawnmowers, etc., into a reusable, sealable container.
• Do not dump oil on the ground, in the gutter or storm drain, or throw in the trash
• Do not mix anything with the oil (water, paint, pesticides, diesel, antifreeze or gasoline)

Before transporting, be sure that…
• Waste is properly labeled or in its original container
• The container is no larger than 5 gallons. Transport no more than 15 gallons or 125 lbs.
• Containers are sound and not leaking
• Sharps/needles are in approved container, illegal to transport in plastic bag, coffee cans or other non approved container
• Waste is securely placed in the back of the vehicle for safe transport
