You & The Environment; Choose Sensible Cleaners; Recycle Wastes - Honda Gold Wing 2018 Owner's Manual

You & the Environment
You & the Environment
Owning and riding a motorcycle can be
enjoyable, but you must do your part to
protect the environment.

Choose Sensible Cleaners

Use a biodegradable detergent when you
wash your motorcycle. Avoid aerosol spray
cleaners that contain chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) which damage the atmosphere's
protective ozone layer.

Recycle Wastes

Put oil and other toxic wastes in approved
containers and take them to a recycling
center.
Call your local or state office of public
works or environmental services to find a
recycling center 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, gasoline,
coolant, and cleaning solvents contain
poisons that can hurt refuse workers and
contaminate drinking water, lakes, rivers,
and oceans.
