The vehicle owner's responsibility is to dispose of vehicle-related waste like fluids, batteries, and tires as per the authorities' guidelines for being a vehicle owner.

Fluids

• Local garages, most auto part stores, and recycling centres are likely to take fluids for free. Before going there, the vehicle owner can call to inquire if they will accept it.

Tires

• Many tire stores and recycling centres will take them for free. Do not dump or burn them. The vehicle owner can be fined for this.

Cars

• Vehicle owners can sell, trade, or recycle old cars with the appropriate facility.

In addition, every province has its unique vehicle waste recycling program. Visit Canadatire.ca for more information on specific areas.
