GreenO THE OSIDER MAY / JUNE 2022
FREE Used Oil and Oil Filter Exchange Events for Oceanside Residents!
Receive a FREE New Oil Filter When You Bring in Your Used Oil Filter
A regular oil change keeps automobiles running smoothly. Recycling that oil keeps our environment healthy too! The City of Oceanside and O’Reilly Auto Parts are co-sponsoring used oil and oil filter exchange events throughout May! Oceanside residents will receive a free new oil filter when they bring in a used oil filter to a participating store. It couldn’t be simpler! Why It’s Important to Properly Recycle Oil Did you know? Used motor oil never wears out—it just gets dirty and can be cleaned, recycled, and used again. Recycling used motor oil conserves a natural resource and is also good for the environment. In fact, Oceanside residents prevented over 30,000 gallons of used oil from polluting our local waterways by recycling used oil in 2021 alone! Motor oil poured onto the ground, into storm drains or tossed into trash cans—even in a sealed container—can contaminate and pollute the soil, groundwater, streams and rivers. It’s also illegal.
