Western Placer Waste Management Authority Program
Changing your motor oil just got that much easier with the Western Placer Waste Management Authority’s free oil exchange program happening throughout May. Every Saturday and Sunday in May, residents can exchange their used motor oil filters for a free new one, a $12 value.
Multiple auto part stores are participating in the exchange across the county.

Changing your own motor oil and filters can be a rewarding job that saves money. However, improper disposal of used oil and filters can cause damage to the environment. In fact, used motor oil and filters are classified as household hazardous waste, so they cannot be tossed into residents’ One Big Bin waste disposal containers. The Western Placer Waste Management Authority created the free oil exchange program to reduce harm to the environment and save Placer County residents money.
Residents are also encouraged to visit the One Big Bin booth at Auburn Cruise Night on May 10 if they have any questions about the exchange and to pick up a free oil change kit and oil rags.
