Recology San Mateo County has received notification of this issue. It is registered as service request # 12934430. It will be picked up on 10/07/15. We are unable to service any Household Hazardous Waste and/or Construction and Demolition material. Those items will be referred back to San Mateo County. Please check back for status updates or contact us directly at 650-595-3900.
Rick,
The normal process for unidentified Hazardous Waste is to contact the Fire Department and they will determine what the substance is and if it is safe for our road crew to pick-up. The Fire Department will label the container for a crew to pick-up. If it is not safe they will contact the County Hazmat team to be dispatched to the location.
In this case it is obvious it is used motor oil so I asked Recology to pick this up and they will pick it up on the normal Recycling day. Here is the link to the Recology program for recycling used motor oil http://recologysanmateo.com/index.php/for-homes/residential-beyond-the-cart If you have any additional questions you can reach us at 1-888-442-2666.
Your welcome. Please call us on Tuesday at1 888 442-2666 if Recology has still not picked up this oil.
It was scheduled to be picked up by Recology on 10/7/15.
