Examples include:
- Used engine oil – OC HHW Collection Center or local auto part stores
- Oil filters – tire or auto part stores, OC HHW Collection Centers
- Auto glass – salvage yards
- Engines and transmissions – salvage yards, auto repair shops, mechanics
- Scrap metal (rims, door handles, etc.) – scrap metal yards

Always contact a location to confirm they accept your item and for any instructions on proper handling for transportation.
