Expanded Used Oil Collection Opportunities

Sierra Disposal , July 2, 2012

  Sierra Disposal Service, El Dorado County Fire Department and El Dorado County Environmental Management have teamed up to expand used oil collection opportunities for north County residents.

CURBSIDE OIL- Residential Sierra Disposal Service customers can now have their used oil and used oil filters picked up on their regular collection day. To use this new service:

1. Place your oil into clean, clear plastic bottles (water or milk bottles) or original oil containers. All bottles and containers must have tight, screw tops lids. Secure the lids with tape. We are not able to return containers collected at curbside so use containers you don't want back.
2. Place your drained oil filter (drain for at least four hours) into a leak proof plastic bag and seal the bag by ziplock or with twist tie.
3. Place the oil and filter (holes up) next to your garbage can on your scheduled collection day.
Please:
4. Do not mix the oil with anything else. Oil mixed with fuels, solvents, brake fluid and other liquids cannot be recycled, and must be taken to a household hazardous waste collection facility (see below).
5. Do not set out more than 2 gallons of oil per week.
6. Do not use any pesticide, bleach or other containers that contained chemical products.
