Used Oil Recycling and Collection

Used Motor Oil Recycling and WALGA Preferred Supplier

Funding for Used Oil Collection & Recycling
The Waste Authority allocated funding to assist Local Governments with used motor oil recycling. The funding Program originally finished on 23 April 2011, but was extended to cover collections of used motor oil until the end of June 2011. WALGA has written to the Federal Government requesting assistance, and an outline of the timelines for reviewing the Federal Product Stewardship for Oil Program.
