Motor Oil, Tires, Antifreeze and
Nebraska law prohibits disposing of motor oil, tires, antifreeze or lead-acid (automotive) batteries in landfills, on the ground, or in waterways because of soil and water contamination. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates over 120 million gallons of used motor oil are changed and disposed of by "do-it-yourselfers," and much of this oil is improperly disposed, resulting in numerous environmental hazards. Many people don't think of the consequences when they pour oil down drains, in storm sewers, on the road, or on the ground.
Problems From Improper Oil Disposal
Two cups of oil can produce a surface water slick of approximately one acre in size. Floating algae and plankton, a vital source of food for fish, are killed on contact with oil.
One gallon of used oil, the amount from a typical oil change, can ruin one million gallons of fresh water-equivalent to a year's supply of water for 50 people.
Used oil contains toxic chemicals, carcinogenic (cancer causing) hydrocarbons, and heavy metals such as lead, zinc, arsenic, chromium, and cadmium.
Oil dumped onto land reduces soil productivity for crops and other plant life.
Concentrations of oil at only 50 to 100 parts per million can damage sewage treatment processes.
These facts highlight the importance of recycling used motor oil. Oil does not wear out as many people think; it only becomes dirty. Oil that has been re-refined works just as well as new oil derived from crude oil.
Nationwide, if all used oil improperly disposed of by do-it-yourselfers were recycled, 96 million quarts of high-quality motor oil could be produced or enough energy to power 360,000 homes each year could be produced.
It takes 42 gallons of crude oil to produce 2½ quarts of new lubricating oil. However, it takes only one gallon of used motor oil to produce the same quality and quantity of lubricating oil.
Used antifreeze is a toxic and potentially dangerous waste and should be treated as such. Antifreeze should not be poured on the ground because animals are attracted to its sweet taste, drink it and die. Always store antifreeze in a properly labeled antifreeze container, away from children.
Title VI of the 1990 Clean Air Act mandates that all chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), a type of freon, must be recovered when automobile air conditioners are serviced or repaired. It is illegal to vent freon from air conditioners into the atmosphere. Have your air conditioner serviced at a certified repair shop.
