Fairfield has a program to help you dispose of used oil the right way -- Give Oil For Energy Recovery, or GOFER -- a joint effort with Santee Cooper to keep used oil out of our precious soil and water supplies.

Just take your used oil to one of our GOFER collection sites. Then, Santee Cooper will collect the oil and burn it to generate electricity.

How to GOFER it!
To help you properly dispose of used oil, please follow these tips:

• Drain the oil into a suitable container (no larger than 5 gal.), such as a large plastic jug with a tightly fitting cap.
• Use a funnel to keep oil from spilling and keep the container clean.
• Take the used oil to the nearest GOFER Convenience Station and remember ...

   

• Don't mix oil with other liquids such as antifreeze, gasoline, paint thinner, brake fluid or water.
• Pour oil carefully into collection station tanks to minimize spillage. PLEASE KEEP YOUR GOFER STATION CLEAN!
• Reuse your used oil containers if possible. Never dispose of them at the collection station and don't leave full containers at the station after hours.
