Where can used oil, lubricants and car batteries be taken to be disposed of properly?

Used oil, lubricants, and car batteries contain hazardous substances that can harm the environment if disposed of improperly. Therefore, German traffic and environmental regulations require these materials to be taken to designated places. Recycling centres accept these items because they have the proper facilities to handle and recycle hazardous waste safely. Car workshops also collect used oil, lubricants, and batteries as part of their service, ensuring they are disposed of correctly. Household waste is not appropriate for these materials because it lacks the necessary treatment processes and can cause pollution. Always use approved collection points to protect the environment and comply with the law.
