Diamond Bar Launches Oil Recycling Campaign

Diamond Bar has launched a Recycling Made Easy, Used Oil & Used Oil Filter  campaign to promote the proper disposal of used oil and oil filters through free curbside/door pickup and local drop off services.

Funded by a grant from CalRecycle, the free oil recycling kit includes a funnel, zip-lock bag, two shop towels, loop filter wrench, and a drain pan/storage container that holds 15 quarts (the equivalent amount of three oil changes).

The kits will be distributed to Diamond Bar residents on a first-come, first-serve basis at the following locations while supplies last:

• City Hall, 21810 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Fridays
• Diamond Bar Center, 1600 Grand Avenue, Diamond Bar, 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturdays
• Concerts in the Park at Sycamore Canyon Park, 22930 Golden Springs Drive at 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Aug. 22 , 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Once the container is filled, residents should transfer the used oil into a clean plastic container with lid, such as a milk jug, and dispose of it by either by scheduling a curbside pickup with waste hauler Waste Management, (800) 266-7551 or door-to-door Valley Vista Services (800) 442-6454.

Residents may also drop off the oil at a State-certified collection center such as:

• AutoZone, 303 S. Diamond Bar Blvd. (909) 396-4682
• Firestone Store, 1150 S Grand Ave. (909) 861-4140
• Jiffy Lube, 2845 S. Diamond Bar Blvd. (909) 869-7273

Calling the centers before taking oil and filters is recommended.
