How do I dispose of motor oil?

How to dispose of motor oil

Safely dispose of used motor oil, oil filters and motor oil containers for free at a household hazardous waste drop-off location:

  • Designated fire hall  (containers of five litres or less).
  • City Eco Centre (containers of more than five litres).
    • If you bring with other garbage, charges will apply.

Special instructions

  • Use original containers where possible, or use a sealed, spill-proof container and make sure it is clearly labelled.
  • If you want to keep your container, you must empty your oil at a City Eco Centre. This option is not available at fire hall locations.
  • You can bring up to 20 litres of household chemicals per week.
  • Do not put motor oil, containers or filters in your blue, green or black carts.
