Waste engine oil recycling
The impacts of oil spills on the marine environment has been well publicised but did you know the greatest volume of oil enters the marine environment through stormwater? It only takes one litre of oil to potentially contaminate one million litres of water. Regular car servicing and recycling your used engine oil is the best way to prevent oil entering the marine environment.
 | Through funding from the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts' Product Stewardship for Oil program the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) has developed a strategy to improve waste engine oil recycling within the Great Barrier Reef catchment. New waste oil collection tanks have been installed at Reef Guardian Council waste transfer stations. To see the nearest location for waste engine oil recycling visit Planet Ark. |
