WHAT DO I DO WITH MY USED OIL?

Are you wondering where to responsibly dispose of your used oil? Here are some options.

You can either arrange for your used oil to be collected by a ROSE licensed collector or you can drop off your oil at a designated drop off point. Some vehicle service centres will accept used oil as they have larger used oil storage containers – contact your local vehicle service centre to find out if they will take your oil.

We are encouraging all vehicle service centres to become local oil drop-off points in a bid to drive increased recycling of used oil.

ABOUT ROSE

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.
