ITec Recycling Services Expands Motor Oil Bottle Recycling Program

   OAKDALE, Calif., Feb. 7 -- ITec Recycling Services
(ITecRS), a division of ITec Environmental Group, Inc. has recently expanded
its motor oil bottle recycling program in California to include one of the top
automotive retail chains in the United States, Pep Boys.
    Through the California Integrated Waste Management Opportunity Grant
Program, the County of San Joaquin has purchased a granulator from ITecRS and
placed it in a Pep Boys store in Stockton, CA.  The granulator will be used to
grind all motor oil bottles used by the retail chain in their daily oil change
activities.  Pep Boys Stores in California are currently Certified Collection
Centers for Do-it-Yourselfers to drop off used motor oil and filters. This
allows Do-it-Yourselfers to have their empty plastic oil containers recycled
as opposed to discarded as trash.
    Pep Boys' staff is pleased with the volume reduction of trash and the
elimination of the dripping oil containers and the mess created by those
containers.  Pep Boys has operated the granulator for several months at their
store and has begun inquiring about expanding the plastic oil container
recycling program to additional locations in their 629 store chain.
    San Joaquin County's Solid Waste & Recycling Division is planning on
expanding this new recycling program to additional locations in the spring of
2003 as well.
    "ITec has been working closely with the California Integrated Waste
Management Board for several years on this program and the way that San
Joaquin County brought Pep Boys into the program is another important step in
making this a very successful recycling program for California and the
nation," said Gary DeLaurentiis, ITec President.
    The granulator was designed specifically for retail stores and costs
$5,300.  It is funded through an Opportunity Grant received by San Joaquin
County from the State of California. ITecRS also receives $125 to provide
collection and transportation for each drum of granulated motor oil bottles.
This store generates approximately one full drum of granulated oily plastic
(1500 empty quart containers) per month. The Opportunity Grant received by San
Joaquin County is also paying for this cost. This amount is expected to
increase greatly as more consumers become aware of the program through public
outreach programs and advertising. "We are very excited with the way San
Joaquin County has incorporated Pep Boys into their motor oil bottle recycling
program.   We will begin processing the collected oil contaminated plastic at
our Oakdale, CA plant, with processing scheduled to begin by March 1st 2003.
We currently have collection programs in 4 additional areas of California and
are working at adding collection locations, stated Gary DeLaurentiis, ITec
President."
    The motor oil bottle recycling program in California is being incorporated
into Household Hazardous Waste Events, curbside recycling programs and now
into retail stores.
