How to use oil collection centers:

Place your motor oil in a sealable container. Make sure the oil is not mixed with any other fluids. Some businesses offer a 40¢ per gallon rebate for used motor oil.

• Collection centers typically accept no more than 5 gallons of used motor oil and 2 filters at one time.
• One or two oil filters are usually accepted for free, though some locations charge up to $3.
• Antifreeze fees range from $1.50 to $3/gallon. Visit collection centers during business hours.

Are you a do-it-yourself oil changer?

Do you change your own motor oil? A 10¢ tax is charged for each quart of motor oil sold in California. You can redeem this money by taking your motor oil to a California Certified used oil collection center.
