City of Houston Curbside Recycling Program -- Used motor oil can be placed out with your green bin on your curbside recycling pick-up day. First, drain the oil into clean, non-chemical containers. A plastic milk bottle or the original plastic container can be used (please do not use Clorox or anti-freeze containers). Then place the containers next to the recycling bin. Empty oil containers are not accepted for recycling.
