Monroe County has provided a new location for waste oil recycling in Islamorada, Village of Islands. The waste oil container is now located at the Monroe County Public Works Yard on US-1 and Key Heights Drive at MM 88.5 bayside. Waste oil can be taken to the site Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm for proper disposal. Waste oil recycling is highly encouraged as a means to protect the fragile environment of the Florida Keys. The service is provided free of charge.
Currently there are eight (8) locations throughout the Keys where homeowners can bring their used oil for recycling.
The oil must be free of any contaminates (i.e. no water, gas, diesel) and a maximum of 5 gallons per homeowner is accepted. For amounts over 5-gal, the homeowner is referred to an oil recycler such as EMC Oil in Homestead. Absolutely no commercial oil waste will be accepted.
Preferably the oil needs to be in containers which can be dropped off, as most sites don’t have people available to empty the oil while the homeowner waits.
The following are sites and times when oil can be recycled:
