Facts
Do-It-Yourselfers improperly dispose of at least 200 million gallons of used motor oil nationwide each year. That's the equivalent of 20 Exxon Valdez spills per year!
One gallon of used motor oil can contaminate one million gallons of water.
What Can You Do?
Put your used motor oil in a clean plastic container with a tight lid.
Never mix used motor oil with anything else, such as paint, antifreeze, gasoline, solvents or water.
Take your used motor oil to an oil collection location for recycling.
Did You Know?
The Tennessee Used Oil Collection Act of 1993, enacted to prevent the mismanagement of used oil, makes it unlawful (except under strictly specified conditions of a valid permit) for any person to discharge used motor oil where it may harm the environment. Violation of this law is a Class C misdemeanor (T.C.A. 68-211-1016).
