Used Motor Oil Feb26

Illustration of used motor oil with a recycle symbol around itUsed motor oil doesn’t belong in our desert. Dumping oil on the ground, in the trash, or down storm drains can pollute soil, groundwater, and nearby waterways—causing long-lasting damage to our fragile desert environment.

The good news: used motor oil can be cleaned, recycled, and reused. Do the right thing by taking it to a Certified Recycling Center for safe disposal and recycling.
