It is estimated that at least 200 million gallons of used motor oil end up in the soil and water each year. Oil that is dumped on the ground or down storm drains will eventually end up in local lakes, rivers, streams and wells that provide drinking water.

Used oil can be recycled and used again. The County of Union provides motor oil recycling containers at participating municipal depots. Please refer to the list below for places within Union County that accept used motor oil. If your town does not accept used motor oil, please feel free to visit any of the depots listed below as this is a county-run program.
