As the snow melts and work ramps up across Alberta’s farms, garages, and industrial sites, spring becomes the perfect time to give your equipment a much-needed tune-up. Whether you're prepping tractors, marine engines, or fleet vehicles, spring maintenance often involves draining and replacing engine oil. But before you toss that used oil aside, it’s important to consider how you’re handling it.

At Recycle West, we specialize in safe, compliant, and environmentally responsible used oil recycling across Edmonton and throughout Western Canada. And spring is one of our busiest—and most important—seasons.

Why Used Oil Disposal Matters More Than Ever

Used motor oil doesn’t just break down—it becomes contaminated. If it’s disposed of improperly, even small quantities can pollute soil, water, and wildlife. And it’s not just an environmental concern—improper disposal can result in hefty fines and serious liability for businesses.

That's why partnering with a certified waste oil recycler like Recycle West is critical during the seasonal ramp-up. We help businesses across industries—including agriculture, automotive, and marine—manage their oil waste responsibly and efficiently.

Spring Maintenance Means More Oil Waste—Are You Prepared?

Spring is the season of changeouts:

Farm equipment like combines, tractors, and irrigation pumps need fluid servicing.
Commercial fleets perform seasonal oil changes to prep for summer.
Marinas and marine repair shops get boats and watercraft ready for action.
Auto shops see increased demand for tune-ups and tire changes.

With all of this activity comes large volumes of used oil, filters, and oily rags that need to be collected, stored, and disposed of properly. Recycle West offers scheduled pickups, onsite waste assessments, and storage solutions that meet Alberta’s environmental regulations.

Our Spring Services Include:

Used oil collection (bulk and drum)
