Oil Filters
See locations for this item (below)

Motor oil filters are made of paper and metal.  Because they contain a considerable amount of used motor oil even when drained, they pose a threat to humans, animals, surface and ground water, and air quality, if disposed of improperly.

It is illegal to put motor oil filters in the garbage (Minnesota Statutes ยง 115A.916). They must be taken to a collection site that accepts them.

Drain oil filters upside down over a container of used motor oil for at least 12 hours before taking them to a drop-off location.  Put filters in a sealed container to prevent leaks.  When oil filters are recycled, any oil remaining in the filters is recovered, and the metal goes to a scrap metal recycling facility.
