3. On collection day, leave the sealed bag containing your filter at the curb next to your recycling cart. Used motor oil can be set out next to your filter. Used motor oil must be collected using its original container (no larger than five quarts) or an ACI-provided motor oil jug.

4. ACI will collect the filter and oil jug and will mail you a coupon for a new oil filter the following week.

Call ACI to request a filter bag and/or motor oil jug for delivery on your next service day.

Participants are eligible to receive one coupon per household per week during the filter exchange program period, meaning up to six coupons total. The coupon is for a limited time only and expires on November 28, 2026. CVSan reserves the right to alter or cancel the program at any time for any reason. Visit cvsan.org/UsedOil for full program details.
