Napa County is one of the many municipalities and counties around the country that utilize the Profile Used Oil Containers at their used oil drop-off sites. The Napa County Recycling Coordinator, Amy Garden stated that people find them easy to use and that she really likes the tertiary containment spillpan underneath the unit which protects the site against sloppy pouring hazards. Before Randolf County, Indiana began using their Profile 400 gallon Used Oil Containers, residents had only one day a year to drop-off their used motor oil. The program began in early 1998, and the public response at the four recycling sites has been very positive. The Northwest Indiana Solid Waste Management district is another place where the Profile Used Oil Container has proved beneficial to the area's recycling program.
People are excited about having the opportunity to recycle oil in a safe and pleasant way.
The 400 gallon Profile Used Oil Containers get emptied about once every three months in a six county region where about 102,000 people have access to them. Ms. Schroeder expects that the program will continue to expand.
