Recycle with BOB CSK Auto, Inc. is committed to helping protect and preserve the environment. Most of our stores recycle your used oil and batteries, and some also accept used oil filters and antifreeze. All of our recycling programs are conducted with concern for the health and safety of our communities, and strict adherence to state and federal laws. Let's work together to preserve a clean and healthy environment for future generations. Used oil is accepted at over 1,100 Checker, Schuck s, and Kragen locations in 18 states.
Oil is collected in tanks and picked up regularly by a recovery company.
It is then reprocessed to make products like industrial and marine fuels, base oils and asphalt. Since 1990, CSK Auto has collected over 21 million gallons of used oil, greatly reducing the amount disposed of improperly every day Returned oil filters are drained of free-flowing oil and recycled into new steel products such as cans, cars, appliances, and construction materials. The oil is picked up by a recovery company, and reprocessed to make products like industrial and marine fuels, base oils, and asphalt extenders. Not all CSK stores can accept used filters yet, but we hope to expand this program to include as many communities as possible. Spent lead-acid batteries collected at CSK stores are picked up regularly by our battery manufacturer, Exide Corporation.
