Join A&D Repair Inc. in Okemos, Meridian Charter Township, MI for Eco-Friendly Used Motor Oil Disposal

Why Proper Disposal Matters

Improper disposal of motor oil can severely impact the environment. A single gallon of improperly disposed motor oil can contaminate up to one million gallons of freshwater. That’s why at A&D Repair Inc., we stress the importance of recycling and correctly disposing of used motor oil. It’s essential for protecting Okemos’s natural landscapes, conserving resources, and ensuring the health of our community in Meridian Charter Township.

Fun Fact About Oil Recycling

Did you know? It takes 42 gallons of crude oil to produce just 2 ½ quarts of new, high-quality lubricating oil. In contrast, recycling just one gallon of used oil can yield the same amount of lubricating oil. This highlights the incredible efficiency and environmental benefits of recycling used motor oil.
