Bundle items and tie with rope or string (do not use wire or put in plastic bags). Items must be less than 5 feet long & weigh less than 75 pounds.
Used Motor Oil
Used motor oil is a recyclable item. A receptacle for recycling used motor oil is provided year-round at the Public Works facility and is available at all times. Oil shall be deposited in accordance with directions posted at the facility by the City.
Public Works now has a limited number of recycling bins to loan to groups interested in recycling beverage containers at special events (picnics, fairs, celebrations, etc…). These containers are intended to be used to collect recyclable bottles and cans. They use a clear plastic bag, and have specially designed lids with decals so participants can easily tell what materials should be placed in the container. They are easy to set up and use, and the bags can be replaced quickly so that when they are filled, recyclables don’t end up in the trash! For more information and to see images of the container, visit http://www.clearstreamcontainers.info/10.html
We will work with you to coordinate collection and drop-off of the containers and recyclables following your event. We have them on a trial basis, and must be careful not to loose any! Please contact Public Works at 301-474-4194 if you are interested in borrowing them - or if you have any questions.
