Recycle

oil heaterMetal radiator-style space heaters contain mineral oil. Contact the private metal recycler below to ask if they will accept your heater with the oil still inside. Verify accepted items and hours.

You can recycle drained metal heaters in the scrap metal containers at the Central Kitsap Recycling and Garbage Facility or at  Olympic View Transfer Station. Remove the plug and heating element and then drain the oil into a sturdy container. Take mineral oil to the Kitsap County Household Hazardous Waste Facility.
