Recycling Used Motor Oil in Canada

Petro-Canada participates in the industry-sponsored effort to improve the collection and recycling of used motor oil from automobiles and commercial sources. All used motor oil that is changed at Petro-Canada facilities is recycled. In addition, as part of the industry program they pick up used oil from customer locations.

Petro-Canada collected more than 25 million litres of used motor oil for recycling in 2001 (this total does not include volumes collected from commercial customers in the Prairie provinces where the provincial governments oversee collection).
