| Oil Changes |
 |
After you save yourself some
money by doing an oil change at home, save
the earth by recycling the waste oil. Click
here to find local businesses that will
recycle your used oil.
Now that you know where to recycle your used
motor oil, you can "Make a Change For
the Better" by purchasing re-refined
motor oil. Re-refined motor oil is recycled
oil that has been processed to make it reusable.
It is of the same high quality as virgin motor
oil. In fact, just ask Mercedes Benz! They’ve
been using re-refined motor oil in their new
cars since the early 1990’s.
Purchasing re-refined motor oil will:
• Reduce air pollution
•
Use an American resource and reduce dependence
on foreign oil
• Reduce energy
requirements by being used over and over again
• Conserve a valuable, non-renewable
resource (crude oil) |

Rechargeable Batteries
|
Rechargeable batteries, also
known as Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium) batteries,
are found in power tools, cordless and cellular
phones, and camcorders. Although long lasting,
sooner or later those Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries
are going to quit. When they no longer hold
a charge, RECYCLE THEM.
(Click on the Ni-Cd symbol on the left above
to find the nearest retail collection site.) |
