What should be done with used vehicle oil?
- Take it to an oil recovery container.
- Dump it down a storm drain or sewer.
- Dump it on the ground.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Take it to an oil recovery container.
Used oil heavily pollutes soil and water, and dumping it on the ground or into the sewer system is prohibited. Take it to a collection container, such as those at recycling centers and repair shops, so an authorized waste handler can treat it.
