BC’s Used Oil Recycling Program Celebrates 20 Years

Amajority of British Columbians don’t give much thought to what happens to their used motor oil a er an oil change. And that’s okay, because by taking their vehicle to be serviced at a licensed lube shop or local dealership, they’ve already ensured their used oil will be recycled by Interchange Recycling.

A er 20 years of operating as BC Used Oil Management Association, the organization responsible for the safe collection and recycling of used motor oil around the province recently re-branded to Interchange Recycling, but that hasn’t changed their mandate or their goals.

“Our new name better reflects our business, our members and our future,” said David Lawes, CEO, Interchange Recycling. “We’ve been providing British Columbians with an ecofriendly and cost-e ective way to recycle used motor oil, oil filters, oil containers, antifreeze and antifreeze containers for 20 years but we’re always examining new automotive and industrial products to bring into our recycling process.”
