Waste Oil

Since the discontinuance of waste oil removal by our Curb Side Contractor, many questions have arisen regarding the disposal of waste oil.
You can bring your waste oil back to the store that you purchased it from with the exception of Walmart.
We have confirmed with NAPPA, CarQuest and Advanced Auto Parts that they will indeed take your waste oil back.
Please put the oil back in the original containers.
The stores have also requested that bring the oil back after each oil change so that you are not overloading the store or their personnel at any one time. They seem to be comfortable with ten quarts or less per visit.
We hope you find this information useful. Please continue to contact us with questions.
