Oil filters help engines run smoothly. But did you know used oil filters help our communities run smoothly too? Used oil filters contain metal, which is recycled into metal products like rebar, nails, and wire that can be used in a variety of projects. ♻️

Since 2018 we’ve modified & distributed 86 shipping containers around the province. They act as safe, standalone collection sites, keeping the elements out and the recycled materials in. When we saw a problem, our shipping containers fixed it. ♻️👍
