Why not recycle all your oil filters? Typically Walmart TLE, Sam's Club Automotive, and O'Reilly Auto Parts accept used oil filters for recycling as well as used motor oil. Steel is recycled as scrap, non-metals like media and elastomers are incinerated for fuel value, recovered used oil is re-refined or blended in heavy fuel oil.
