Motor Oil Recycling Near Me
Used motor oil can be recycled again and again. Many auto parts stores and quick-lube shops accept it for free, usually up to a few gallons at a time, and city or county hazardous waste sites take it too. Bring it in a clean, sealed container and never mix it with other fluids.
How to prepare motor oil for recycling
- Pour used oil into a clean, sealed plastic container with a tight lid.
- Never mix it with antifreeze, gasoline, brake fluid or solvents — mixed oil often can't be recycled.
- Bring used oil filters in a leak-proof bag; many places take them as well.
- Check the maximum amount accepted per visit.
What usually isn't accepted
- Oil mixed with other liquids
