March 24, 2003 – The Do-It-Yourself used oil collection site at the Public Works Department's Anna's Hope Compound in Christiansted will now be open on weekends, according to a department release.
The site is currently open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, but beginning Saturday, weekend hours will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Do-it-yourself used oil collection sites are for "weekend mechanics" who change their own car oil. Each person may deposit up to five gallons per month at the sites.
The DIY sites only accept used motor oil that does not contain dirt, leaves or other contaminants. Used oil must be stored in clean containers, that were not used for bleach, detergent or hazardous solvents.
For more information, call Public Works at 773-1290 ext. 2228.
