Used Motor Oil

Why is it important to properly dispose of used motor oil?

It is up to us to properly handle used motor oil to prevent it from getting into the soil or into our waterways. Used motor oil contains many pollutants and accounts for over 40% of the oil pollution of our nation’s harbors and waterways. Recycling used motor oil also allows it to be re-refined and used again, creating less of a demand for new oil. 

If you see that oil has been spilled on the ground or in a storm drain, please notify the City by submitting an  Illegal Disposal Report.

How can I recycle my used motor oil and filter?
