Resumen
Used lubricating oils (ULO) are waste that can cause damage to the environment when not correctly managed. In Mexico, one of the practices of lubricating oil consumers is to change vehicle´s motor oil at home. This used oil is usually disposed in sewers, vacant lots or burned without precautions, among other practices that negatively impact the environment. Therefore, it is important to study the generators using as a framework the theories that address environmental attitudes and apply this to the design of waste management strategies. This study investigates public perceptions of ULO disposal as household hazardous waste (HHW) and analyzes attitudes toward its responsible management in homes. By understanding these perspectives, we aim to develop strategies that align with public sentiment and require minimal municipal oversight. Our findings will enhance HHW management practices and reduce environmental impact. 100 vehicle owners from different social strata from Ensenada B.C. were surveyed. The results show that the lack of information about ULO management is the most common in men and women. It was also identified that there is a positive attitude towards responsible discharge and that this trend could be stabilized if dissemination and awareness campaigns are implemented.
