OIL, OIL FILTER, AND ANTIFREEZE RECOVERY
Three Good Reasons to Recycle Oil:
It protects our water supply. Used oil contains harmful chemical waste, some of which are potentially hazardous to human health. Oil dumped in storm sewers, in the garbage, or on the ground can eventually find its way into our water supply.
**One quart of oil can spoil 250,000 gallons of drinking water or form an oil slick nearly acres large!
bullet It conserves our Energy resources. Most of the wasted used motor oil is carelessly dumped by do-it-yourselfers changing their own oil. Used oil can be rerefined into new oil, or processed into heating oil, lubricating oil, or used in making other new products.
**The 4 million gallons of oil thrown away each year in Indiana could heat over 5,000 homes instead!
bullet It is so easy for us to do. Regularly deliver your small quantities of oil (5 gallons), oil filters, and antifreeze to the center nearest you. Contact NWISWD about the next large quantity oil collection.
