Used Oil
Do you have used oil and other engine maintenance products to recycle?
Used oil and antifreeze products don’t belong in landfills. They can be recycled – and we can help with that. For small quantities of used oil and glycol (antifreeze) products drop off at the enviro centre.
Products that can be recycled
Olis
Petroleum or synthetic-derived crankcase oil, engine oil and gear oil, plus hydraulic fluid, transmission fluid, heat transfer fluid, and fluid used for lubricating machinery or equipment.
Filters
Spin-on style or element style fluid filters used in hydraulic, transmission or internal combustion engines. Also includes diesel fuel filters, storage tank fuel filters and household furnace oil filters. Gasoline filters excluded.
Why recycle?
Used oil and antifreeze products (and the containers they come in) can be given a second life when you dispose of them properly. The Atlantic Used Oil Management Association provides residents and businesses with a safe and effective way to recycle used oil and antifreeze products and divert them from landfills.
How it works
Used oil and antifreeze products must be recycled and it’s never been easier. If collected and returned, they can be reused or recycled into other products.
Gather products
Collect used oil and oil filters, empty oil containers, antifreeze containers, and aerosol containers.
Prepare products for recycling
Drain your oil filter in a bucket and put used oil in an old oil container.
