I take used oil and filters to NAPA, they do have a 4 gallon limit per day for used oil, I have never came close to that much. one time NAPA's oil tank was full, so i went to a Walmart they take oil also, but at Walmart they have you sign in with name and how much oil you are dropping off. Napa just takes it, no sign in. Lots of people just toss oil filters in the regular trash though.Good Morning BITOGERS. I take my old oil filters to my work and use our OTC brand filter crusher. Safety Kleen pays us whatever by weight for all old oil, trans, etc filters. My stepdad, brother throw them into trash
Any of you folks crush them or do you take them to a recycling facility? Back home my real dad burns them out when clearing brush, trees etc. great fire starters
The vehicles at work that have cartridges with plastic center tube we throw in our filter dumpster. Some, like ones off Toyotas and Jaguar, Mercedes, BMW we crush. They don’t spring back to original height either. Then throw em’ in filter dumpster.I allow them to drain for a week and throw them out with the trash.
Our shop tags get picked up every Wednesday and cleaned and sent back to us or other shops.Once they are drained/dry as much as you can no real difference tossing it in the trash than an oily/greasy shop rag that nobody recycles....
Yes sure but that's a shop, home DIYer toss em' and this is no different. I recycle mine b/c the county recyling place takes them (filters).Our shop tags get picked up every Wednesday and cleaned and sent back to us or other shops.
I now take the burned out shells to the park that has a recycling center and throw them in the scrap steel dumpster there.Yes sure but that's a shop, home DIYer toss em' and this is no different. I recycle mine b/c the county recyling place takes them (filters).
I agree 100%For the last time Pep Boys refused to take my oil—4 quarts. Decided to post my experience on Yelp.
In NYS, they would have to accept 5 gal per day. Imagine that? In NJ and PA they routinely refuse. I actually hope their behavior will one day catch up with them. You sell oil and change it, you should accept small amounts for recycling. Corp responsibility. Jmoymmv
