Where to get rid of used oil
Used oil is accepted for recycling by the Kenai Peninsula Borough Solid Waste Department 10 gallons at a time, a maximum of 25 gallons per month. Recycle used oil during operating hours at the Central Peninsula Landfill in Soldotna and the Transfer Facilities in Homer, Kenai, Nikiski, Seward and Sterling.
Sign in with the attendant and they will direct you to the tank. Used oil is insoluble, does not wear out — just gets dirty, can contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals, and is a major source of pollution of waterways. Recover, Reuse, Repeat.
