Recycle Wastes
Put oil and other toxic wastes in approved
containers and take them to a recycling centre.
Call your local or state office of public works or
environmental services to find a recycling centre
in your area and to get instructions on how to
dispose of non-recyclable wastes. Do not place
used engine oil in the trash or pour it down a
drain or on the ground. Used oil, petrol, coolant,
and cleaning solvents contain poisons that can
hurt refuse workers and contaminate drinking
water, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
