CVSan's Used Motor Oil Filter Exchange Program

Do you change your own oil and live in a single-family home? Starting October 7th and ending November 15th, you can participate CVSan’s award-winning Used Motor Oil Filter Exchange Program to receive a coupon for a new oil filter.

There are four easy steps for residents to participate in the program:

1. Drain the used motor oil filter from an automobile, motorcycle, or boat into a pan for 24 hours. This step is important, because filters can hold up to a quart of oil.

2. Place filter in the zippered bag that comes in Alameda County Industries’ (ACI) free motor oil recycling kit. For a free recycling kit, contact ACI at (510) 483-1400 or pick one up at CVSan Offices at 21040 Marshall Street, Monday - Friday, 7:00 –11:00 a.m. and 12:00 - 4:00 p.m.

3. At least 24 hours before setting out your used motor oil and filter curbside, contact ACI’s Customer Service Department by phone Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., at (510) 483-1400 or by email at info@alamedacountyindustries to state that you will be participating in the program. Residents with Monday service can leave a voicemail during the weekend stating that they will be setting out a used filter on Monday and providing their name, address, and phone number.

4. Leave the sealed bag next to your used motor oil at the curb and ACI will collect it on your regular collection day.

Residents can receive a maximum of one coupon* per household per week during the filter exchange program period (up to six coupons per program). Visit www.cvsan.org/usedoil for more information on how to recycle used motor oil and filters.

* The coupon is for a limited time only and expires on November 23, 2019. CVSan reserves the right to alter or cancel the program at any time for any reason.
