Recycling
Oil Collection Program
|
|
LOCATION:
 | CHS Agri Service Center– 805 N. Highway 183 – Alma, NE 68920, (308) 928-2656 |
HOURS:
| 10am to 12pm, 1st and 3rd Saturdays During April - October
|
| By Appointment only during November - March (call 928-2242) |
WHY:
| State law (LB1257) banned disposal of waste oil in
landfills beginning September 1, 1994. It’s estimated that five million
gallons of used oil are generated in rural Nebraska each year. |
| There is a need to prevent the soil, surface water,
and ground water in Nebraska from possible contamination or used oil. |
HOW:
| Make sure to collect your used oil in clean, empty
and sealable containers. |
| Take uncontaminated (free of water, antifreeze,
etc.) used oil to your county’s oil collection facility. |
WHAT WILL BE ACCEPTED:
| Spent oil from gasoline and diesel engines |
| Spent refrigerant lubricating oil |
| Spent lubricating oil from aircraft reciprocating and jet engines |
| Spent hydraulic fluid |
| Spent heat transfer fluids |
| Spent transmission fluid |
| Cutting Oils |
WHAT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED:
| Spent antifreeze |
| Brake fluid |
| Solvents of any kind |
| Any used oil with water |
A gallon of used oil
can ruin a million gallons of fresh water!
A year’s supply for 50 people.
