- Go to the Recycling Area.
- Look for the collection containers in the center of this area, under the pavilion.

Some area gas and services stations accept used motor oil. Check with stations near you.
Are there exemptions to the 5 gallon limit?
Certain residential and Over the Road (OTR) vehicle owners may apply for an exemption to dispose of more than 5 gallons. Those owners should apply using the Used Oil Disposal Exemption Form. After applying, requests will be reviewed by staff to determine if the exemption is justified.
