Tips 145
You & the Environment
Owning and riding a motorcycle can be enjoyable, but you must do your part to
protect nature.
Following are tips on how you can be an environmentally responsible
motorcycle owner.
• Choose Sensible Cleaners. Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash
your motorcycle. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that contain
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which damage the atmosphere’s protective
ozone layer. Don’t throw cleaning solvents away; see the following
guidelines for proper disposal.
• Recyc
le Wastes. It’s illegal and thoughtless to put used engine oil in the
trash, down a drain, or on the ground. Used oil, gasoline, coolant, and
cleaning solvents contain poisons that can hurt refuse workers and
contaminate our drinking water, lakes, rivers, and oceans. Before changing
your oil, make sure you have the proper containers. Put oil and other toxic
wastes in separate sealed containers and take them to a recycling center. Call
your local or state office of public works or environmental services to find a
recycling center in your area, and to get instructions on how to dispose of
non-recyclable wastes.
