Oil Filters

Oil filters are banned from landfill disposal in North Carolina.  Please see the resources listed on this page for more information on managing oil filters.  If you have additional questions, please contact Tom Rhodes at (919) 707-8140.

Local governments may choose to use the Statewide Convenience Contract for Used Oil and Antifreeze. This contract is not mandatory, but provided as an option for counties or municipalities to use for their public recycling programs.
