British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling used motor oil (70% recovery), oil filters (84%) and oil containers (63%). But when you consider a single litre of used oil can contaminate a million litres of ground water, it is clear that more needs to be done. Please ensure every drop of used oil, every filter and every container is brought to a collection facility during regular business hours so it can be disposed of properly.
