about the oil care campaign:
dispose of your waste engine
oil for recycling at an oil bank
- Oil is a common and highly visible form of pollution
where even a small quantity can cause a lot of harm to
the environment.
- The Oil Care Campaign was set up by the
Environment Agency, in
association with SEPA
in Scotland and Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA), to reduce oil pollution by providing guidance
on and facilities for the safe disposal and management
of oil. Visit the Oil Care pages on their websites from the useful links section.
- The Environment Agency, SEPA and NIEA has installed a network
of oil banks that accept used engine oil
for recycling.
- Oilbanks do not accept
petrol, thinners, solvents, cooking oil, etc, or engine oil that has been mixed with white spirit, paint or
solvents.
- If you live in the England, Wales, Scotland or Northern
Ireland, you can find out where your nearest oil bank
is by using this
website or by telephoning the Oil Bank Line on
03708 506 506 or sending an email to enquiries@environment-agency.gov.uk.
- You can download some useful guidance notes on the safe use, storage and disposal of oil from this website.
