Product Stewardship for Oil Scheme
The Product Stewardship for Oil Scheme (PSO) was introduced by the Australian Government in 2001 to provide incentives to increase used oil recycling. The Scheme aims to encourage the environmentally sustainable management and re-refining of used oil and its re-use.
What can you do to recycle oil?
By pouring your used oil back into an empty oil container and taking it to your local used oil facility for recycling, you are helping to conserve a valuable resource and protect the environment.
Contact your local council or check the council's website for information about your nearest used oil facility.
