Recycle Used Oil Filters at ATI Parts for Free
Did you
know that you can recycle used oil filters at ATI Parts for free? There is a Free Filter Exchange scheduled for MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 10:00
a.m. until 2:00 p.m. at ATI PARTS, located at Hwy 49 & Ridge Road, Sutter
Creek. Bring your used oil filters to ATI Parts and receive a free oil
& filter recycling container and $6 off your purchase of a new oil
filter. This offer is limited to the
first 50 people. You can recycle your used oil & oil filters at ATI Parts
FREE everyday, but the FREE container and filter offer is only valid for
Monday, October 15th.
Oil filters should never be thrown in the trash because they can
contain one pint to one quart of used oil. Even if properly drained, a filter
can still contain two to eight ounces of used oil. The steel in used oil
filters can be recycled to make new steel products, such as cans, cars,
appliances, and construction rebar. Recycling all the filters sold annually in
the United States would
result in the recovery of about 160,000 tons of steel, or enough steel to make
16 new stadiums the size of Atlanta's
Olympic Stadium. For more information about the Monday’s event, contact the
store at 267-5241. For more information
about oil and filter recycling, contact Amador County Waste Management
Department at 223-6429 or 1-800-CLEANUP.
