Recycling Programs - Advance Auto Parts

Every Advance Auto Parts store serves as a community recycling center, accepting consumers� used vehicle batteries, motor oil, transmission fluid, hydraulic oil, gear oil and power steering fluid free of charge. The program has been extremely successful and Advance Auto Parts is now collecting more than 5 million gallons of used motor oil each year and millions of batteries for recycling from its nationwide network of over 3,300 stores.

Battery Recycling

Advance Auto Parts is proud to be partners with Johnson Controls in an effort to recycle lead-acid batteries. Advance Auto Parts will accept, free of charge, any lead-acid battery for recycling. Advance Auto Parts has collected used batteries for over 50 years, and is currently partnering with Johnson Controls.

According to statistics compiled by Battery Council International and the Institute for Scrap Recycling Industries, lead-acid batteries continue to top the list as the nation's most recycled consumer product. Virtually 100 percent of the lead and plastic in lead-acid batteries is reclaimed through recycling, and then manufactured into new batteries with the reclaimed materials.

Johnson Controls takes 100% responsibility to ensure every battery picked up is recycled on behalf of their customers and complies with all regulations.

Oil Recycling

Advance Auto Parts encourages consumers to protect natural resources and underground drinking water supplies by properly disposing of used motor oil, transmission fluid, hydraulic oil, gear oil and power steering fluid at any Advance Auto Parts store.
