The good oil
THANKS to Ashburton branch member Jim Ackerley the MidCanterbury area is leading the country in oil recycling efforts. Concerned at the dumping of oil into the drains or soak holes, Jim approached the local Motor Trade Association for their co-operation in allowing the public to bring in used oil to garages for recycling. Their reponse was positive; the next move was the production of a poster by the Ashburton District Council advertising the service. Jim took the poster around every garage in Mid-Canterbury and the local branch set up a display in Ashburton. The public has responded well to the scheme; it is hoped to extend it to the rest of the country with the support of the MTA and other councils.
