Motor oil plays a vital role in keeping our vehicles running smoothly. But when it’s spent, disposing of it carelessly can lead to significant environmental hazards. Contaminated oil can pollute waterways, harm wildlife, and compromise soil health. Every quart counts when it comes to conservation.
Los Angeles County is committed to greener roads ahead! We offer residents a complimentary disposal site to discard non-contaminated used motor oil and motor oil filters. Whether from your car, truck, motorcycle, boat or even lawnmower, lead the way to sustainability by taking your used oil to one of our County Used Motor Oil Centers.
By recycling motor oil responsibly, we’re ensuring smoother rides and paving the way for a cleaner environment. Let’s drive towards a sustainable future, one drop at a time.
