Recycling Waste

While the automobile industry and its affiliates have largely taken responsibility for disposing waste properly, individual vehicle owners may also find themselves faced with the issue from time to time. If so, it should be kept in mind that the EPA says that motor oil is the leading source of small-quantity hazardous waste. On the other hand, when recycled, two gallons of motor oil can produce enough electricity to power a home for one day or power a television for 180 straight hours. Vehicle owners must also be cognizant of the fact that car batteries contain lead, acid, and plastic that pose a threat to the environment and human health. We all have a big stake in recycling.
