Used Motor Oil & Cooking Oil Collection
Rancho Murieta residents can call Cal-Waste Customer Service to request a 1-gallon container for disposal of either used cooking oil, and separately, used motor oil. Cooking oil and motor oil cannot be collected in the same container. (In the instance that a resident would like a container for both cooking oil and motor oil, they would receive two containers.) The container will be dropped off on the day of waste collection. Residents can then fill the container at their leisure and set at the curb when the container is full on their next collection day.
