I just changed the oil in my car.  Where can I take the used motor oil? - Used motor oil should not be put into household garbage, dumped on the ground or poured down the drain. Used motor oil is accepted at all Valvoline Instant Oil Change, AutoZone, and BP ProCare (full-service stations only) locations.  Contact the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio for more information.

What do I do with my old car battery? - State law bans lead acid batteries from landfill disposal.
