Proper disposal of used motor oil

Used motor oil, when disposed of improperly, can contaminate our water supply.  Motor oil should never be dumped into a storm drain, drainage ditch or dumped on the ground.  One quart of motor oil can contaminate 250,000 gallons of water and create an oil slick the size of eight football fields. Remember, Oil and Water Don't Mix! 

Used motor oil from cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, farm equipment, and lawnmowers can be recycled and re-refined.

Recycling your used motor oil is as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4!

1. Remove the oil from your car and be sure that you don’t spill any on the ground.
2.  Contain your used motor oil in a clean plastic container with a tight lid.  Never store used oil in a container that once held chemicals, food or beverages.
3.  Do not mix used motor oil with any other substance, like anti-freeze, solvents or paint.
4.  Recycle your oil by taking it to a service station or other locations that collect used motor oil for recycling.
