How to Recycle Your Used Motor Oil

Motor oil never wears out - it just gets dirty. Grays Harbor County has many oil recycling collection sites, they are marked with an asterisk (*) in the list below. Simply follow these easy steps:

	Drain the used oil into a sealable, reusable container.
	Keep the oil pure. Keep in the container sealed and clear of rainwater, debris or substances such as solvents, gasoline, thinners or antifreeze. Used motor oil cannot be accepted for recycling if it is mixed with these substances. Please bring contaminated oil to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility instead.
	Pour oil into the collection tank, and take your container back with you to use again.

The following list includes the County’s oil recycling drop sites (marked with an asterisk *), as well as other commercial sites located in your community. Listing these other oil recycling locations is not an endorsement for these companies, and it may be an incomplete list. If your company recycles oil and you would like to list it on this website, contact the Solid Waste Program at (360) 249-4222.

Here’s the Dirt

	At more than 40 percent of the total, used oil is the largest single source of oil pollution in our nations waterways.
	Used oil can seep through soils and landfills to contaminate ground water supplies.
	More than 2 million galllons of used motor oil are dumped on the ground, poured down storm drains, or put in the trash every year in Washington.
	The oil from just one oil change is enough to contaminate one million gallons of drinking water. That’s a year’s supply for fifty people.
	Oil dumped in storm drains may go right into Grays Harbor, killing fish, birds and other aquatic life.
	Oil takes decades to decompose.
	In Washington, it’s against the law to dump oil on the ground, in surface waters or in solid waste landfills.
	Used oil never wears out...it just gets dirty. Oil can be reprocessed and reused over and over again, saving energy, costs and non-renewable petroleum resources. Re-refined oil has exactly the same properties as oil produced from virgin crude. When you use it your car will never know the difference!
