In addition, the County has partnered with other specialized locations (primarily auto shops, parts stores, a marina, etc.) in the following areas:

  • Used Oil Recycling Program:  Several locations across Fresno County that are active participants in the Used Oil Certified Collection Center (CCC) program often have storage tanks on-site to collect and safely dispose of used oil and filters. Learn more: www.fresnocountyca.gov/usedoil

    Caution! Don’t mix used oil with other liquids, like transmission fluid, gasoline, or antifreeze. This could be very dangerous. Click here for our list of HHW drop-off sites for other automotive materials.
