Oil filters should never be thrown in the trash because they can contain one pint to one quart of used oil. Even if properly drained, a filter can still contain two to eight ounces of used oil. The steel in used oil filters can be recycled to make new steel products, such as cans, cars, appliances, and construction rebar. Recycling all the filters sold annually in the United States would result in the recovery of about 160,000 tons of steel, or enough steel to make 16 new stadiums the size of Atlanta’s Olympic Stadium.
You can recycle your used oil & oil filters at NAPA Auto Parts for FREE everyday. NAPA Auto Parts is located at 4907 Joe Howard Street in Mariposa and can be reached at (209) 966-3697.
