Oil and oil filters should be disposed of properly. One quart of oil disposed of improperly can pollute 250,000 gallons of drinking water. Used motor oil never wears out. Contaminants can be removed through a refining process. This refining takes 70% less energy than the 42 gallons of high quality crude oil it takes to produce 2.5 quarts of new oil.
It is illegal to:
pour used oil on the ground
pour used oil down a drain or sewer
put used oil in the trash
apply used oil to roads for dust suppression
Retailers who sell motor oil are required to post a sign or provide a telephone number identifying the location of the closest collection site for used oil.
One suggestion to dispose of oil properly is draining it into a clean plastic container that can be sealed then taken to a facility that handles disposing the oil properly.
