Drop-Off Locations for Used Motor Oil and Filter Recycling

General information

 

STEPS FOR RECYCLING AT A COLLECTION CENTER

  1. See our map and list by city for over 50 used oil and filter drop-off locations in San Mateo County and choose the one most convenient for you.
  2. Call the drop-off location prior to bringing your used oil and filter to verify hours and limitations.
  3. Collect used oil in a clean, non-breakable plastic container that has a screw-on cap.
  4. Place used oil filter into a plastic bag and seal tightly.
  5. Deliver used motor oil and filters to the collection center. Always give used motor oil and filters to a staff member.
  6. Never abandon used oil or filters outside of the business when the shop is closed. This is illegal.

If any corrections are needed to the listed locations, please contact us at pollutionprevention@smcgov.org.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CONTAMINATED OIL

All locations accept uncontaminated used motor oil and filters unless otherwise noted. Don’t forget to bring your used filter for recycling.
