Find a Drop-off Location
Remember: used oil and glycol products don’t belong in the trash.
When doing engine or motor maintenance, your used oil filters and oil/glycol containers can be recycled too.
- One used oil filter contains enough oil to contaminate litres of fresh water. To recycle them, drain used oil filters over a collection container, seal them in a leak-proof bag, and bring them to a participating drop off location.
- Residue from oil and glycol containers contaminates other plastic recycling streams. Recycling them properly is quick, easy, and free – ensure caps are on tight, and bring them to a participating drop-off location.
For generators of larger quantities of used oil and antifreeze products, there are Registered Collectors that will pick up products.
What to do before you drop off used oil and antifreeze products:
- Use our ‘Find a drop-off location’ feature above to find the nearest drop-off.
- New to recycling oil and antifreeze products? Follow the hints below to help your recycling go smoothly.
DO use an old oil or antifreeze container to carry used oil or antifreeze. Be sure to seal the container during transportation.
DON’T mix oil with antifreeze or with any other products. This contaminates them.
DO check and respect the business hours of drop-off locations. Call ahead, if you have any questions.
DON’T leave products outside drop-off locations. Leave products with an employee.
