More than 25% of us change our car’s oil ourselves. Waste motor
\noil, antifreeze, brake fluid, battery acid, gasoline, car wax,
\nengine cleaners, degreasers, radiator flushes, and rust preventatives
\ncontain toxic chemicals. When waste oil is poured down storm drains
\nit can flow directly into streams, lakes and Puget Sound. Over
\n90% of the used oil applied to roads for dust control actually
\nleaves the road surface on dust particles or in surface water
\nrunoff. Used oil placed in the garbage can seep through the landfill
\nto contaminate groundwater.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nDisposal<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>The
\nonly recommended way to dispose of oil is to put it into a sturdy
\ncontainer and take it to your neighborhood automotive garage or
\noil recycling center. Recycling one gallon of used oil yields two
\nand one-half quarts of high quality lubricating oil, the same amount
\nproduced from 42 gallons of crude oil. Call 1-800-RECYCLE for recycling
\nlocations near your home. Disposing of antifreeze is also a problem.
\nAntifreeze contains ethylene glycol which is poisonous to fish,
\nwildlife and people. Many cats and dogs have died after drinking
\nthe sweet tasting puddles of antifreeze left on driveways. Do not
\ndispose of antifreeze down storm drains, instead ask you local service
\nstation to add the liquid to their used anti-freeze storage drum.
\nIf your household is connected to a central sewer system, call your
\nwastewater utility for specific guidance in disposing of anti-freeze.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n<\/b><\/span> Other
\nCar Care Concerns<\/span><\/b><\/span>

\n

\nTake
\na few minutes to examine your car carefully for leaks in oil,
\nfuel, brake, and cooling systems. It is important to correct leaks
\nquickly, even a small leak over a long period can make a substantial
\ncontribution of hazardous wastes to the environment. While you’re
\nat it, have your emission system checked for efficient operation.
\nWhen washing your car, use soap or clear water rather than detergents
\nto minimize runoff into storm drains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
