Used Oil

Each year, nearly 2.5 million litres of used oil are generated in New Brunswick. Used oil can seep into and contaminate the water table, adds to air pollution and can create explosions or fires. In 2001, the Province passed the Used Oil Regulation. Under this regulation, used oil must be brought to a Return Facility for safe disposal.

How the program works
  • If you change the oil in your vehicle you should take the used oil to a Return facility.
  • Products covered under the program include engine oil, hydraulic fluid, lubricating oil and transmission fluid. Antifreeze, brake and steering fluid are not included.
  • The cost is free.
More on Used Oil Regulations
