WASTE OIL RECYCLING PROGRAM

Broomfield residents can take advantage of the Waste Oil Recycling program.  Used cooking, motor, and transmission oils are accepted. Bring oil to the Fleet Division entrance of the Norman Smith Service Center at 3001 W. 124th Avenue (just east of Lowell Boulevard).  Place the oil to be recycled on the blue table outside and come in to fill out a quick form. All oil containers will be returned to the owner after disposal. A maximum of five gallons per household, per month is allowed.

Did you know that an estimated 15 million gallons of used motor oil is discharged into coastal waters annually due to businesses and homeowners improperly disposing of used motor oil? The oil that is brought to the Fleet Division is processed into petroleum that can be used by licensed industrial burners. This completes the recycling chain and keeps the used oil out of landfills and away from water supplies. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to call Kathy at 303.438.6336 or email Kathy.

For disposal of other household hazardous waste, Broomfield residents can use the year-round, permanent Hazardous Materials Management Facility (HMMF) in Boulder. Please bring a driver's license or other proof of residency. Boulder County operates the program through an intergovernmental agreement with communities in the region.

The facility is regularly open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday. The facility is not open on public holidays. Reusable products are available FREE OF CHARGE to the public during regular hours of operation.

Residents should call the HMMF at 720.564.2251 for closure information before delivering any waste.

To get more information on the Household Hazardous Waste Program, call the Boulder County Resource Conservation Division at 720.564.2220.

Broomfield offers two local events annually for residents to dispose of household hazardous waste.  Watch your utility bill or keep an eye on the main website for notice of these events.
