Automotive Products
Many automotive products such as oil, antifreeze, and freons are toxic. One quart of motor oil can contaminate 250,000 gallons of water. Run-off from paved surfaces is a large contributor to surface water contamination.
As there are few alternatives, proper handling and disposal of products is essential. Proper vehicle maintenance helps: fix fluid leaks immediately, avoid spills, carefully bottle used motor oil and take to a licensed service station for proper disposal and recycling. Locate responsible stores or garages which will take back and recycle dead batteries and used tires. Contact your local government for recommended disposal of other automotive products.
