PRINCE GEORGE – The BC Used Oil Management Association announced the winners for their third annual top collector award.
Jepson Petroleum Ltd. of Prince George is one of the businesses given the honour. Jepson Petroleum is on the list of 30 businesses across the province to receive this award. The top collectors are honoured through a number of criteria including the total amount of used oil, antifreeze and empty containers for both products that have been collected. The businesses total number of years participating in BCUOMA’s public recycling program.
“Our top collectors went above and beyond by upgrading their infrastructures to make collection more environmentally friendly, educating their customers about used oil recycling, installing new informational signage, and promoting used oil and antifreeze recycling in their communities. BCUOMA is honoured to work with such a dedicated group of business owners and managers across British Columbia who are passionate about providing their customers with great service, while also focusing on the environment. These awards are our way of thanking the top collectors in the province for continuing to do an excellent job,” said David Lawes, CEO, BC Used Oil Management Association.
“By recycling used oil and antifreeze, BCUOMA is proud to enhance our support for a thriving circular economy and help conserve precious resources.,” said Lawes. `“100 per cent of the antifreeze collected by BCUOMA registered collectors is recycled into new antifreeze, and this cycle can continue indefinitely without any quality sacrifices. 68 per cent of the used motor oil that has been collected by BCUOMA registered collectors was refined into new ready for sale lubricating oil. The remaining 32 per cent of used oil that has been collected was processed and sold as a new product. BCUOMA believes in a more sustainable and circular future. Purchasing recycled oil and antifreeze is a step you can take (to) help close the loop and shift to a circular economy.”
