Where can I recycle oil filters or used motor oil?
On July 22, 2003 the British Columbia used oil recycling program is changing to an industry-led product stewardship initiative. Used oil filters and used plastic oil containers (1 30 litre size), as well as used oil, will be recycled at return collection points. The product stewardship program, managed by the British Columbia Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA) is developing a network of conveniently located return collection points across the province.The program is paid for by an Environmental Handling Charge (EHC) assessed on new oil, filters and plastic oil containers. The EHC is not a government tax, but a user-pay levy used by BCUOMA solely for funding the collection of used oil, used oil filters and used plastic oil containers.For more information about the program and your nearest collection point call 1-866-322-8662 or visit the BCUOMA website.
