Used Oil, Filters, Containers & Antifreeze Products
The Manitoba Association for Resource Recovery Corp. (MARRC) is a non-profit organization providing a simple and convenient way to dispose of used oil and antifreeze products, filters, and containers. By properly disposing these products, used oil is converted into new diesel fuel, oil filters are shredded, heated and re-used as material for other metal products such as rebar, nails and wire. Used oil, antifreeze and DEF containers are recycled into energy used for heating water, buildings, and generating electricity and used antifreeze is recycled into new antifreeze.
Used oils, filters, and containers can be dropped off at the Diversion Centre so they can be disposed of properly and recycled:
- Petroleum and synthetic crankcase oil
- Engine oil
- Hydraulic fluid
- Transmission fluid
- Gear oil
- Other fluid used for lubricating machinery or equipment
- Engine oil filters
- Diesel fuel filters
- Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) containers - any plastic container that is manufactured to hold DEF
- Oil containers - any plastic container that is manufactured to hold oil
- Antifreeze - any ethylene glycol or propylene glycol vehicle engine coolant
- Antifreeze containers - any plastic container manufactured to hold antifreeze
*Containers used to transport hazardous liquids will not be returned to you
