So you're a Charlotte do-it-yourselfer who just completed an oil change in your very own garage. Job well done. Time to celebrate? No, it's time to clean up.
After any automotive repair, there are sure to be a few spills to wipe, tools to be cleaned and liquids to be disposed of. After your next repair, be sure to take your cleanup duties with the same vigor as the repair for the safety of your family and your community.
When disposing of fluids, be mindful of the potential environmental impacts of your actions. Pouring your used oil down the drain or outside of your house is not only dangerous to your health but the health of your family, but really detrimental to the environment. Instead, try dropping off your used oil at an automotive-repair shop like Carolina Tire & Auto. They are equipped with oil-recycling centers, similar to the ones used in NASCAR, and will accept and recycle your oil for you, often at no charge.
NASCAR's official trackside environmental services provider, Safety-Kleen ensures proper disposal of oil, brake fluid, oil filters, coolant and cleaning solvents at NASCAR-sanctioned events, collecting and re-refining 170,000 gallons of race car oil annually. In addition, Safety-Kleen also offers both aqueous and solvent based parts cleaners to help you clean those hard to reach places on your tools and components.
Follow the lead of NASCAR teams and Carolina Tire & Auto today, and find out how you can make your next do-it-yourself auto-repair job as environmentally sound as possible.
