Minnesota State law prohibits the disposal of motor oil, oil filters and antifreeze on land, in the sewer system, or with solid waste. Improper disposal of oil and other automotive lubricants can harm vegetation and pollute water supplies. Even when drained, oil filters contain motor oil that can contaminate our environment if disposed of improperly. The prohibition also includes brake fluid, power steering fluid and transmission fluid.

For disposal of small quantities of automobile oils and fluids, visit one of the oil recycling sites listed below.

What is accepted? Motor oil, automotive fluids, lubricating and industrial process oils, oil filters and antifreeze. Please keep antifreeze separate from oil.

* Store used motor oil in a sealed, labeled container. Do not mix used motor oil with antifreeze, water, gasoline, or other fluids. Do not store used motor oil in a container previously used for antifreeze, bleach, paint, pesticides, or other chemicals. Any residue left in the container may contaminate the oil.
