Oil recovery program initiated nationally CONSUMERS WHO change their own motor oil can now make sure that their used oil is recycled — with First Recovery, the first national motor oil re- covery system for do-it- yourselfers. Professional mechanics and oil change shops have had the ability for years to recycle used motor oil. Until now, the process has not been available te do-it-yourselfers because of technical difficulties in Gesigning a tank that could meet government and safety specifica- tions. The First Recovery programs was developed by Valvoline Ltd. in an effort to address the poten- tial environment damage created by the more than 125 million litres of used motor oil that is improp- erly discarded every year by Ca- nadians who change their own oil. Each year, more than three times as much oil as was lost during the Valdez spill in Alaska is being thrown in the trash, poured down sewers and in backyards, damag- ing the environment. To maintain the safety and quality controls necessary in col- fecting used motor oil, First Re- covery relies on automotive supply retailers to reach do-it-yourself consumers. The oil is collected in storage tanks, which are located in retail outlets. The oil is checked for impurities such as paint and anti-freeze and, if acceptable, is poured into the First Recovery tank.

This winter, be a Bicod Bonor ‘The Canadian fled Cross Society ported to a re-refiner who recycles the oil and makes new en- vironmentally safe products. The used motor oil is recycled using a process of dehydration, evaporation and distillation that is virtually pollution-free and pro- duces by-products that are en- vironmentally safe. Fer example, used motor oil can be recycled to create a residue that is used in asphait. Valvoline anticipates that more than 800 tanks will be installed across Canada by the end of the year. ‘‘We expect that First Re- covery will collect more than 360,000 litres of used motor oil within its first year of operation,"’ says Bill Dempsey, vice-president and general manager of Valvoline Canada Ltd. 1992 Hyundai Sonata GL ones Standard 126 HP 20 litre engine or optional V6, tilt steering, AM/FM cassette stereo with 4 4 speakers.
