Funding for Used Oil Collection & Recycling
The Waste Authority has allocated funding to assist Local Governments with used motor oil recycling. The funding Program originally finished on 23 April 2011, but is now extended to cover collections of used motor oil until the end of June 2011. Funding is allocated in six monthly periods (Jan – June 2009, Jul – Dec 2009, Jan – June 2010, July - Dec 2010 and Jan - June 2011). Funding will vary based upon a geographical location weighting, the amount of used oil collected and the number of Local Governments who apply.  In order to access funding, Local Governments will need to:

  • Use the WALGA appointed Preferred Supplier;
  • Keep documentation relating to the amount and cost of used oil collected; and
  • Estimate the source of used oil (public, commercial or Local Government)
