Description:

I have seen 5qt/ of oil dumped into the car wash trash cans, this happens often, when dump truck hauls trash away, we haves seen the 5qt oil containers rupture into the solid waste, which is then taken to landfills and mixed with green waste and other waste that can affect groundwater and air quality. It affects children at skatepark! and the near by residents, it affects cultural environment , it affects wildlife or biological diversity. i would like some action to be taken or advise community residents for oil recycling facilities. Having accessible facilities for oil recycling, at the car wash , create awareness , flyers on how and where and when to recycle oil and when these services are available,keep people informed, open on Sundays for public. And increase how much oil can be recycled! Mid Valley waste should enforce what is being dumped, their trucks are equipped with cameras, yet they are still hauling oil in regular household and green waste!
