It's the LAW!

Used Motor Oil Collection

Used motor oil, oil filters and empty motor oil bottles are frequently disposed improperly. One gallon of used motor oil poured on the ground or in a sewer system can contaminate as much as 1 million gallons of water.. often the very water we drink.

To make proper disposal easy and convenient, containers for used motor oil, oil filters and oil bottles can be found throughout Darlington County.
