Safety-Kleen collects more than 200 million gallons

of used oil annually. The oil is re-refined and goes back into the marketplace without any exploration or drilling. Oil re-refining reduces greenhouse gases and heavy metal emissions when compared to burning used oil as fuel. Without a doubt, re-refining is a better way to handle used oil. It is easier on the environment and makes used oil a renewable resource.

Safety-Kleen utilizes its fleet of oil trucks, tankers, rail cars and barges to collect and ship used oil to its state of the art refining facilities. With over 200 service locations Safety-Kleen provides both scheduled and emergency collection services. We also provide sampling services at the time of collection, to determine the level of contamination, and all pertinent documentation to keep our customers in compliance with government regulations.

If you are a small generator of used oil, you can get detailed information on drop-off locations and other useful recycling tips for used oil and used filters on www.earth911.org.
