As the temperature drop, Clark County Environmental Services wants to increase awareness about recycling used antifreeze and motor oil.
Both are accepted for curbside recycling and should never be dumped down a drain or on the ground, Jim Mansfield, sustainability specialist, said in a news release this week.
The liquids should be placed in one-gallon clear plastic jugs with screw-top lids and not mixed together or with any other liquids.
Curbside recycling is available at all single-family homes, but not all apartments or condominiums. Check with your manager if you live in a multifamily complex.
For questions about recycling, call Environmental Services at 360-397-2121 Ext. 4352 or go to http://www.clark.wa.gov/recycle/recyclingA-Z.html.
