Used motor oil doesn’t belong in landfills — it can cause serious environmental damage. In Canada, GFL/Interchange Recycling has created a successful solution: they collect used motor oil and containers with an impressive 95%+ recovery rate. ♻️ The oil is removed from plastic containers, blended with regular oil, and sent to refineries. 🛢️ The plastic containers are sent to Merlin Plastics, where they’re recycled and reused. A smart, circular system that protects our planet. #Recycling #Sustainability #CircularEconomy @InterchangeRec @MerlinPlastics #CFEE
