Good practices help protect our environment and keep our communities clean.

• Whether from cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, recreational vehicles or lawn mowers, DIY mechanics know that fuels, lubricants, antifreeze and filters should not be mixed or thrown in the garbage. Do-it-yourselfers should bring these items to one of seven Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County Home Chemical and Recycling Centers or to any number of local service stations and auto parts stores that accept these waste fluids, as well as used oil filters.

• The SWA has locations in Jupiter, West Palm Beach, Belle Glade, Royal Palm Beach, Lantana, West Delray Beach and East Delray Beach. All facilities are open Monday through Friday, and at least part of the day on Saturday. Hours vary by location.

• To prevent spills, transport used motor fluids in the oil change containers sold at retail stores or in clean plastic containers with a lid. Clearly label all containers and never mix used oil with any other liquids, including water.

• One cup of spilled motor oil can contaminate more than 62,000 gallons of fresh water, so keep sand or kitty litter handy in case a spill occurs.

• More disposal information, including the operating hours of each location, can be found online at SWA.org/HCRC or by calling 561-697-2700 or 866-SWA-INFO (toll-free). Commercial disposal must follow special guidelines. Call 561-687-1100 to learn more.
