Penticton and 琉璃神社 are getting upgraded oil recycling facilities thanks to the BC Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA).

The Great Canadian Oil Change locations in the two cities received grants from the association as well as a 10-foot modified sea shipping container.

The upgraded public recycling centres provide the residents of 琉璃神社 and Penticton with easy, free and eco-friendly infrastructures to return their used oil and antifreeze materials.

Mike Bernhardt, franchise owner of five Great Canadian Oil Change locations across B.C., contacted BCUOMA to upgrade his 琉璃神社 and Penticton locations with new infrastructure.

鈥淗e (Bernhardt) understood the importance of accommodating his customers with user-friendly facilities to return their used oil and antifreeze products,鈥� said BCUOMA CEO David Lawes.

The association is a non-profit dedicated to collecting and recycling used oil, filters, containers and antifreeze in B.C., and provides grants through their infrastructure program to assist in providing all British Columbians access to free oil recycling.

Municipalities, private businesses, nonprofit organizations, and other sectors interested in a BCUOMA infrastructure grant can find out more information .

Used oil can be recycled into new lubricating oil or sold as raw materials.
