Collecting used oil from the Do-It-Yourself oil changer is easy with the high volume Profile Oil Containers sold by the Fibrex Group. Conveniently located used oil drop-off sites equipped with attractive and user-friendly tanks are an essential element for any successful high volume used oil program. The Profile 400-gallon Used Oil Container is specially designed to accept used oil from the public. This attractive unit is very user friendly which improves program participation and aids in keeping the collection site clean.
The Profile Oil Recycling Container combines the unique feature of a steel inner tank surrounded by a rust resistant fiberglass secondary containment. Other features include a large disposal funnel, rain resistant lockable lid, level gauge, instruction decals and a 2” service coupling for pumping out the used oil.
The NYC Department of Sanitation is holding five SAFE (Solvents, Automotive, Flammable, Electronics) Disposal Events this spring (one in each borough) to provide NYC residents with a one-stop method to get rid of potentially harmful household products. If you cannot attend any of the events, see harmful household products.
Only NYC residential waste will be accepted at these NYC SAFE events (no business or institutional waste permitted). No commercial vehicles allowed. Residents MUST provide proof of NYC residency.
Items accepted include auto fluids, batteries, electronics, glues, medications, paint products, solvents, and more. When deciding what items to bring, look for products labeled with the following signal words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. Products labeled DANGER represent the highest hazard level. Please also bring any other materials stored in your home that you know may be harmful.
In addition to used oil recycling, many communities are now also looking to collect used oil filters. The Igloo Drum Cover, combined with a spill pan and standard open top 55 gallon steel drum, becomes an attractive and safe receptacle perfect for collecting used oil filters. Please contact Fibrex to receive a quote or pricing for your recycling needs.
