Free Curbside Oil Recycling + Motor Oil and Filter Collection Sites April 29, 2025 Email Motor oil never wears out — it just gets dirty. It can be recycled over and over! So, you probably already know that the only legal way to dispose of used oil and oil filters is to recycle them…but did you know that they can be picked up for free? If you have residential curbside service you can request a free oil container and zip-lock filter bag from Napa Recycling: 707-255-5200. You can also drop off motor oil at various collection sites throughout Napa County. Thanks for recycling your used motor oil! But you didn’t finish the job if you threw the filter away. Filters are made from steel that can be recycled too! Only motor oil is accepted in the curbside jug. Filters should be placed next to the jug in a tightly sealed leak-proof bag. Other automotive fluids must be kept separate and recycled at drop-off locations – see Motor Oil & Filters for more details.
Avoid the Spark: Be Battery Safety Smart April 29, 2025 Email Batteries cannot go in the recycling, trash or compost carts! Multiple times in the past few years, misplaced batteries have started fires at our facilities and in our trucks. Luckily they were put out quickly, but fires from lithium ion batteries – the ones in your phone, tablet, laptop, drill, vape pen or drone – are very susceptible to starting fires when they are punctured or crushed and have caused serious fires at recycling facilities in recent years. Batteries can be dropped off at many sites around town – visit naparecycling.com/batteries for a full list. We also pick up batteries with our Recycle More program – find details at naparecycling.com/recycle-more. Thanks for your help in safely recycling batteries!
