Used oil from a single oil change (approximately 4 quarts of oil) can ruin 1 million gallons of water...a year's supply for 50 people. – City of Chicago Used Motor Oil Recycling


A quart of motor oil can contaminate up to 250,000 gallons of drinking water! – DPW Bureau of Sanitation
Recycling just two
gallons of used
oil can generate
enough electricity
to run the average
household for
nearly 24 hours.


Recycling all the
waste oil generated
in the United States
over a single year
would save half
the annual output of
the Alaska Pipeline
