Dear Editor,
Why is there no used engine oil recycling in Langley?
New engine oil can be sold in stores in Langley, however neither the City of Langley nor the Township of Langley provide facilities to return used engine oil. I was told by our provincial recycling program, Recycle BC, that the nearest facilities were in South Surrey, or Maple Ridge.
So Langley can sell the oil, but is not responsible to provided a facility to return used oil? Is this even legal? Hopefully it doesn't lead to people finding places to just dump their used oil off because they can't get rid of it. That couldn't be good for the environment.
Way to go, Langley.
