Just one litre of used oil can
contaminate one million litres of water. That’s why
recycling used oil, used oil filters and used plastic oil
containers is good for the environment.
In Alberta, it’s easy to drop-off used oil and related
materials. For do-it-yourself mechanics, farmers and small
businesses, there are nearly
340 year-round public collection
facilities and EcoCentres. There’s one near you.
For businesses generating large volumes, there are many
registered
collectors available to pick up your used oil materials on
site.
All materials recovered are recycled through
registered
processors. No used oil material goes to landfills or is used
for road oiling.
Since 1997, this industry-led used oil materials stewardship
program has been managed by the
Alberta Used Oil Management Association
(AUOMA).
The program is
working environmentally,
economically and
socio-economically.
