Large items such as sofas and refrigerators
can be collected at your curb for a fee. Used Motor Oil and Oil Filter Collection To recycle used motor oil and oil filters curbside, you must use free GreenTeam of San Jose-issued oil jugs and filter bags which are designed to prevent leaks. Place filled oil jugs and filter bags on the curb near your recycling cart for collection. To order the free oil jugs and filter bags, call Customer Service at 408.282.4400. After collecting your used motor oil or oil filter
bags, the driver will leave a replacement for what is collected. For example,
if one oil jug is picked up, then one empty oil jug is left in exchange (up to
a maximum of four one-gallon jugs). If one oil filter bag is collected, then one
empty filter bag is left in exchange (up to a maximum of two oil filter bags).
Remember: oil mixed with antifreeze, transmission fluid, or any other automotive
fluid will NOT be collected. For safe disposal of other automotive fluids, contact
the Santa Clara Countywide Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Program at 408.299-7300
or visit www.hhw.org to schedule a free appointment. |
