Used Motor Oil Filter Exchange Program Starts February 18th

Do you change your own oil and live in a single-family home? Starting February 18th and ending March 29th, 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 Waste Management of Alameda County, Inc.’s (WMAC) free motor oil recycling kit. For a free recycling kit, contact WMAC at (510) 537-5500 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 filters curbside, notify WMAC’s Customer Service Center, Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. at (510) 537-5500 that you will be participating in the program.

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

Residents can receive a maximum of one coupon* per household per week during the filter exchange program period (up to six coupons). 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 April 13, 2019. CVSan reserves the right to alter or cancel the program at any time for any reason.
