oil disposal
Discarding used petroleum
Oil disposal is the process of getting rid of used or waste oil, particularly motor oil from vehicles or cooking oil from kitchens.
Proper oil disposal matters because oil contaminates water and soil: Check with your local recycling center for oil disposal options.
Many auto parts stores accept used motor oil for recycling.
