Everyone in Alberta has done an exceptional job of recycling used motor oil (83% recovery), oil filters (91%) and oil containers (85%). However, when you consider that a single litre of used oil can contaminate a million litres of ground water, it is clear that more needs to be done. That is why we must encourage people to ensure every drop of used oil, every filter, and every container is returned to a collection facility during regular hours so it can be disposed of properly.
