California Agricultural Used Oil and Filter Recycling Program

Free Agricultural Used Oil and Filter Recycling Sites

The Farm Bureau and the Agricultural Commissioners have made it easy to dispose of used motor oil and filters. A new arrangement now allows farmers to transport up to 55 gallons of used oil in one trip to free collection centers. To use these centers you simply must carry with you a copy of the state issued transportation variance and label your containers as outlined in the material. This is a great way to shift the long-term liability for disposal of waste oil off of your business and also protect the environment. Illegal and unsafe dumping of used oil for weed or dust control closes the door on our industry’s credibility. This site offers you a proactive alternative to dispose of used motor oil. Be sure to look for the phone number to have your free variance mailed to you.

Buy Re-Refined Motor Oil For Your Farm Equipment

Motor oil doesn’t wear out, it just gets dirty! Make a change for the better, buy re-refined motor oil for your farm equipment. Test after test has shown that API certified re-refined motor oil is just as good or better than traditional crude oil. Ford, GM, Chrysler, and Mercedes-Benz have all gone on record to state that the use of re-refined motor oil meets warranty requirements. Cal-Trans, Coca-Cola, Southern California Gas, County of Santa Cruz, City of San Francisco, Waste Management, and the California Department of Forestry are some of the fleets that use re-refined motor oil. “We put re-refined oil in all of our tractors, harvesting equipment and vehicles… I can tell you there is no other oil I’d like to run in my tractor,” Scott Hunter, Almond Grower, Merced County. Compared to crude oil production, re-refining takes one third less energy. You can close the used oil-recycling loop by using re-refined motor oil in your equipment. Since the two re-refineries are located in California and Illinois, purchasing re-refined motor oil can help reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil and create American jobs.
