"You Dump It, You Drink It" Campaign
Public Service Announcement
Erik Estrada's public service announcements on radio encouraging used oil recyclingAs part of its ongoing effort to educate all Americans on environmental responsibility, EPA recently launched the "You Dump It, You Drink It" campaign, aimed at the Hispanic automotive repair and service industry and consumers. Despite the fact that about half of all automotive mechanics in the United States are Hispanic, little if any Spanish-language material exists for the automotive repair industry and those consumers who change their own motor oil. EPA hopes to fill this void through a widescale distribution of these materials, which include posters, brochures and bumper stickers.

The "You Dump It, You Drink It" campaign focuses on the proper management of used motor oil and includes a variety of free, printed information materials that are available in both Spanish and English. The materials were developed over a 12-month period, using information collected during a series of focus groups, one-on-one and telephone interviews, and on-the-job observations of employees in major Hispanic population centers.
