QuestionHow should I dispose of 400 to 500 oil filters per week?Community AnswerIt sounds like you are a business, so you will probably have to pay to get rid of them. There are companies that collect oil and filters from other companies that generate that kind of waste. Check with a local oil change place and see who they use. I know years ago in the service station business we had someone come and collect the oil from our holding tank and the filter once drained went into the trash. I would think by now someone is recycling them.
