Oil & Glycol Recycling Program
Used oil and glycol require safe disposal.
These products contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals that should never be put in the garbage or poured down the drain.
In Newfoundland & Labrador, used oil and glycol is handled through an industry-led Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) organization called the Used Oil Management Association (UOMA).
Residents can properly dispose of used oil and glycol products at various drop-off locations across the province. Businesses that generate a quantity of used oil products can find a Registered UOMA Collector and have the products picked up. In Newfoundland & Labrador, government regulations prohibit disposing of oil or glycol in the garbage or pouring it down your drain.

Recycle My Oil
Residents and businesses in Newfoundland & Labrador can recycle used oil/glycol products by dropping off small quantities to registered drop off locations – participating garages, car dealerships, and regional waste management authorities. Businesses with larger volumes to recycle can sign up with a Registered Collector to pick up used oil/glycol products from your business at no cost.
