Are you a do-it-yourselfer and change your own motor oil?  Grant County Solid Waste is reminding residents to properly store and recycle automotive oil such as motor oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid.  Store oil in a closed durable container out of the weather and label what’s inside.  Don’t mix oil with antifreeze, brake fluid, gasoline, water, or solvents. 

Up to five gallons of uncontaminated used oil may be recycled each day at the transfer station, Ephrata Landfill, AutoZone, O’Reilly’s, and household hazardous waste collection events.  Oil that is contaminated must be disposed at a Household hazardous waste collection event. 

For more information, contact Grant County Solid Waste at 509-754-6082, ext.3508.
