Every day in the City of Baldwin Park thousands of cars, trucks, buses, and other vehicles drive up-and-down our streets. Whether making deliveries, taking our kids to school, or heading off to shop, all these vehicles share something in common; they all use motor oil in their engines.

As motor oil gets old, it gets dirty and contaminated with hazardous chemicals including arsenic, lead, and cadmium. Incorrectly disposed of, used motor oil can become a major source of environmental pollution. When improperly disposed of or spilled, this used motor oil will contaminate soil and water while causing a messy cleanup.

 

Fortunately it is easy to properly dispose of used motor oil (and other common household hazardous wastes) in the City of Baldwin Park. Residents can either take their used motor oil to several local collection centers in the City or arrange for convenient at-home pick-up. And all the used motor oil collected in our community is recycled and reused.

Please take a look at each of the pages at this site for more useful information or call 888 CleanLA (253-2652) for the used oil collection center nearest you.
