How to dispose of used motor oil in Brooklyn Park, MN

Federal law (40 CFR 279) requires every retailer that sells motor oil to accept used oil free of charge. AutoZone, O'Reilly, Advance Auto, NAPA, and most Walmart Auto Centers take used oil + filters. Never pour down a drain — one quart contaminates 250,000 gallons of water.

Curbside schedule
Brooklyn Park does NOT operate its own curbside collection — residents contract directly with a licensed Hennepin County hauler. Pickup day varies by hauler and address. Most provide weekly garbage, every-other-week recycling, and seasonal yard-waste pickup April-November.
Bulk pickup
Bulk pickup is arranged through your individual hauler, not the city. Most Brooklyn Park haulers include 1-2 bulk items per year free; additional items $15-40 each. Call your hauler directly or use ClearPath's pickup booking flow.
