We all know that improper disposal of used oil is toxic to the environment. Oil can damage almost any form of life it comes into contact with, from good bacteria in the soil to invertebrates. When oil is released into the environment it can have a tremendous impact on everything, from plants to animals to people.  Oil contains many poisonous by-products, and when dumped incorrectly, these harmful chemicals find their way back into our water supply. We properly send oil to the recycle methods.
