Program benefits
Ò Battery Recycling - Batteries contain heavy metals such as lead and cadmium that are very toxic in small quantities. If discarded improperly, the batteries leak their contents which could end up in local waterways.
Ò Motor Oil Recycling - Experts estimate that 40 percent of oil pollution in America’s waterways is from used oil. Motor oil does not wear out—it just gets dirty—so recycling it saves a valuable resource.
Appliance Recycling - Washers, dryers, hot water heaters, garbage disposals, trash compactors, ranges, stoves, air conditioners, heat pumps, refrigerators or freezers, furnaces, microwave ovens, dehumidifiers and dishwashers will all be accepted. Some appliances contain CFCs, Freon, Gas, Ammonia, or other types of refrigerant. OEMA has an employee certified to remove these hazardous substances. All of these Appliances have the potential to pose health and environmental problems if not properly recovered
