CVSan's Used Motor Oil Filter Exchange Program

Calling all single-family home residents! Do you change your own oil? Do you want to find out how to get a free motor oil filter? If you answered yes, keep reading! CVSan is proud to announce its award-winning Used Motor Oil Filter Exchange Program beginning May 4th and ending June 12th. Participants will receive a coupon in the mail for a new filter!

There are 4 easy steps for single-family residents to participate in the filter exchange program and recycle used motor oil filters curbside:

1. Drain the used motor oil filter from an automobile, motorcycle, or boat into a pan for 24 hours (an important step, since filters can hold up to a quart of oil).
2. Place the filter in the zippered bag that comes with the free recycling kit from WMAC.
3. If you’d like to participate in the filter exchange program, notify Waste Management of Alameda County, Inc.’s (WMAC’s) Customer Service Center, M-F, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. at (510) 537-5500 at least 24 hours before setting out used motor oil and filter(s) curbside to receive a coupon* in the mail from CVSan for a new filter.
   
4. Set the sealed bag next to your used motor oil at the curb, and WMAC will collect the filter and used motor oil on your regular collection day.

Single-family residents can set out up to 3 jugs and 3 filters curbside on your collection day. Go to www.cvsan.org/usedoil for more information on how to recycle used motor oil & filters!

* The coupon may be redeemed for one (1) filter up to $10 (including tax). A used motor oil filter must be set out for recycling curbside in order to receive a coupon for a new filter. Coupon is for a limited time only and expires June 22, 2015. CVSan reserves the right to alter or cancel the program at any time for any reason.
