Santee Cooper's Environmental Services personnel and the GOFER are often requested to come to schools, Earth Day events, recycling fairs, or programs with an environmental focus in order to give talks and distribute information on the importance of recycling used oil. Just ask your school official to call the GOFER hotline to schedule an educational visit to your school.
Yes. Individuals can bring small quantities (less than 5 gallons) to the Do-It-Yourself GOFER tanks at the county recycling centers. Cooking oil or grease from commercial businesses is not accepted. Commercial businesses such as restaurants will need to contact a contractor to hand their recycling needs.
Santee Cooper provides a safe and reliable way to ensure your used oil is never dumped illegally or pollutes South Carolina's waterways.Your used oil is safely incinerated at a generating facility so that it provides the added benefit of producing electricity for our state.
