Many residents generate used motor oil regularly in their homes, shops and garages.
Many residents generate used motor oil regularly in their homes, shops and garages. Motor oil can cause harm to us and our environment when discarded improperly. To dispose of motor oil and filters safely, material can be delivered to our EcoDrop on Leland Ave in Utica all year long, during normal business hours. Only 5 gallons of used motor oil is allowed to be delivered at one time. There is no charge for residents to drop off used motor oil. There are several locations and Oneida and Herkimer Counties that accept used motor oil for recycling.
