One gallon of used motor oil can ruin a million gallons of water. In fact, just one quart of used oil can create an oil slick larger than a football field.

In the U.S., more than 120 million gallons of used oil is dumped into storm drains, sewers, back yards and trash cans. Much of this will contaminate streams, rivers, lakes and precious groundwater.

Did you know that used oil has to be disposed of at a registered collection center? For dozens of municipalities throughout the U.S, Jiffy Lube^® is the designated oil collection center. Each year, we send millions of gallons of used oil to federally approved recycling centers to be turned into important materials used to create paper products and asphalt for our roads. Contact your local Jiffy Lube^® service center to make sure they are accepting oil.
