Oil Filter Program Change

1/1/2008

For years, the Delaware Solid Waste Authority has provided the collection of oil filters from both residents and businesses in the State of Delaware. In order to sustain the oil filter program, DSWA found it necessary to make some changes to the program. Residents will still be able to dispose of used motor oil filters at several of the RECYCLE DELAWARE Drop-off Centers. Businesses who are part of the oil filter collection program will now be asked to pay $25 per pick-up for used oil filters. DSWA will provide each business that chooses to participate with three 55-gallon drums for their oil filters. Current participating businesses should have received a letter from DSWA explaining the changes to the program. Businesses will be provided with 3 collections options; weekly pick-up service, every other week pick-up service or an on call pick-up basis. For more information on this program change please, call the Citizens’ Response Line at 1-800-404-7080.
