How Do You Recycle A Used Oil Filter?

Recycling oil filters and motor oil is becoming easier as stricter state landfill laws are leading to more retail outlets and service stations taking oil filters. Remove your oil filter by loosening it with a filter wrench. Drain all oil from the filter into a leakproof container with a secure screw-on top. Use a clean container that has not been used to store household chemicals; a plastic milk jug will work fine. Check with oil collection centers, your local service station, car repair shops or car dealers to see if they take used oil filters. Call (800) MOTOR-OIL for the nearest Valvoline First Recovery Center, and ask if they take oil filters along with motor oil. See if a Jiffy Lube in your area recycles used oil filters. Contact the Filter Manufacturers Council at (800) 99-FILTER or visit its Web site at www.filtercouncil.org for more information about recycling your used oil filter.
