Used Oil Recycling Locations
Steps for Safely Changing Your Oil
  1. Turn on your car engine and let it run for several minutes; warm oil will drain more quickly
  2. Before you get under the car, turn off the engine, apply the parking brake, and have rags, funnel collection container, and tools ready.
  3. Drain the oil from your car for about 20-30 minutes until it stops dripping.
  4. Remove the oil filter from the warm engine and allow it to drain for up to 24 hours into your collection pan.
  5. Hand-tighten a new oil filter. Add new oil to your car. Start your engine and then check for leaks.
  6. Store oil in a clean sturdy container with a tight-fitting screw cap. Do not mix the used oil with any other liquid. Oil should be free of dirt and debris.
  7. If you have curbside oil service, you may be able to get a free container from your trash or recycling hauler.
  8. To make changing your own oil easier, you may want to purchase a container that can collect as well as transport oil.
Where can I drop off my used motor oil?
Listed below are used oil drop-off locations throughout Solano County.
What about my oil filter?
After draining, oil filters should be put in a plastic bag for transport and taken to a certified center that accepts filters or a BOPA or HHW facility.
It is illegal to dispose of motor oil or hazardous waste by:
  • Dumping it on the ground,
  • Pouring it into storm drains or sewers
  • Putting it in the trash
When used oil and hazardous waste is dumped illegally it can damage wildlife and water supplies as well as harm trash collection and disposal workers. Hazardous material dumped into storm drains is not treated and is carried directly to streams and waterways where it poisons wetlands and wildlife.
