A used oil filter (motor oil optional) must be set out for recycling at the curb during the 6-week program in order to receive a coupon for a new filter. Filters must be set out by 6:00 a.m. on your collection day.
If your service day is Monday, you can leave a voicemail or email during the weekend stating that you will be setting out a used oil filter on Monday and provide your name, address, and phone number.
If you plan to participate multiple times during the program, let ACI know during your first call or email. Simply state that you will be participating in the Filter Exchange Program and provide each date that you plan to participate. Once you complete these steps, you will not need to call/email ACI each week.
One coupon will be distributed per household per week of collection (up to six coupons per program). You can set out more than one filter at a time but are only eligible to receive up to one coupon each week.
How do I use the coupon?
Coupons are redeemable only at O’Reilly Auto Parts Castro Valley (2990 Castro Valley Blvd.). The coupon may be redeemed for one (1) filter with a maximum value of $15 (including tax). If the cost of the filter and tax is less than $15, the balance is not transferable, not redeemable for cash, cannot be used on anything else, and is forfeited. Maximum one (1) coupon per household per week of collection. Coupons are valid for a limited time only and expire on Saturday, November 27, 2021.
