As a ROSE Foundation associate-member company, Autozone has joined the effort to assist with the environmentally acceptable ways of disposing of used lubricating oil.
Consequently, Autozone has identified specific sites that could be used for the purpose of disposing used oil. This is aimed at creating an outlet for disposal of used oil by all the DIY and Informal Mechanics that purchase their lubricants from Autozone stores.
The foundations were first laid in April 1994 after the government withdrew support for the used oil re-refining industry. Previously lubricants were taxed to subsidize the re-refining of used oil back into lubricating oil.
When this subsidy was removed, the major lubricant companies operating in South Africa took it upon themselves to help protect the environment. So they formed the ROSE Foundation to prevent the irresponsible dumping and burning of used lubricating oil.
