Without their assistance, this <br />drop-off location would not have been possible. <br /> <br />Used motor oil can only be dropped off during business hours, Monday through Friday, <br />from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. After-hour drop-offs are not acceptable. <br /> <br />Acceptable materials are: <br /> <br /> used motor oil <br /> gear oil <br /> shock oil <br /> hydraulic oil <br /> transmission oil <br /> diesel <br /> <br />There is a 10-gallon limit for household do-it-yourself generators only. Do not use <br />bleach, antifreeze, or pesticide bottles to transport your used motor oil, as this is <br />hazardous and will contaminate the oil. Continuation of this program will be put at risk if <br />unacceptable materials are placed in the used motor oil container. <br /> <br />Please visit www.hawaiizerowaste.org for more information. <br /> <br /> <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
