Ep 38 -- Ever wondered what happens to your motor oil after an oil change? Spoiler: it doesn’t just disappear like socks in the dryer.
Episode 37
Wednesday, 25 March, 2026
Millions of gallons of motor oil are used annually in California, but what happens if it gets dirty and drained? Today we are going to learn why "used oil" is an environmental problem as well as a useful resource in this episode. We'll look at how recycling operates, what new items are emerging, and the free programs that assist Californians in closing the loop, from auto shops and marinas to do-it-yourself changes. We'll explain how oil recycling fits into California's larger climate picture—and why it matters for everyone—with insights on legislation, innovation, and future objectives. Let’s welcome Senior Environmental Scientist Emily Wang with CalRecycle. Additional Resources: http://irecyclesmart.com/ Earth911 - More Ideas, Less Waste
