Thank you for visiting the Oil Stopper website. This website is devoted to providing information about the importance of recycling used oil and oil filters. We feel it is important to educate the general public, young and old, about the importance of recycing used oil and oil filters that contain generous amounts of oil and steel that should be reclaimed, refined, and reused, rather than disposed of in a landfill.
Oil and oil filters are commonly used for lubricating moving parts of all kinds of machinery, such as large and small power equipment, as well as public transportation modes, which includes airplanes, trucks, buses, and automobiles.
Due to insufficient recycling programs in many parts of North America, used oil and filters are often improperly disposed of. This is mostly because of inconvenient resources for the general public. Improper disposal not only wastes valuable non renewable resources that are capable of being used over and over again for manufacturing new products and lubricating machinery, but it also greatly increases the risk of releasing dangerous toxins into our soil and fresh waterways, which endangers plant, human, and animal life.
Among these valuable, reusable materials are steel and petroleum, which are some of the world's most important resources. These materials never wear out, and can be reused over and over again without sacrificing quality once they are re-refined. Steel and petroleum cannot be planted in the ground like corn or wheat, and once they are improperly disposed of, they can never be used again. Since used oil contains toxic matter that needs to be handled with care, it is hazardous waste, and should not be mixed with household trash.
